Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for a car bombing at a police station in Algeria that killed four policemen and injured 20 yesterday.
The explosion wrecked the outside of the building and damaged nearby homes, shops and a cafe in the town of Naciria, about 120 kilometres east of Algiers.
Al-Qaeda's north African wing said the Toyota, laden with at least 500 kg of explosives, was driven by one of its members, according to a recorded statement aired by Al Arabiya television.
