The apparently coordinated overnight blasts in the town of Reghaia, 20 miles east of the capital, and the eastern Algiers suburb of Dergana were the first bombings of police stations in Algeria in more than five years. [******]The police said the three dead, a woman and two men, were all civilians. A police statement said a stolen vehicle was used in each attack.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but experts, residents and security officials blamed the main rebel group, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, [********] which has consistently refused peace overtures from the government.
Sporadic clashes between Islamist guerrillas and security forces normally take place in isolated rural areas of the country of 33 million.
