ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) -- A car bomb exploded near a police station in a town east of the Algerian capital Wednesday, killing at least four people and ripping off the building's facade, witnesses said.
The blast followed twin suicide bombings on December 11 at U.N. offices and a government building that killed at least 37 people in the capital of Algiers.

The suicide bombings in December and others in April were claimed by al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa, which emerged out of an alliance between Osama bin Laden's international terror network and a local Islamic insurgency movement known as the Salafist Group for Call and Combat.
