Two bombs exploded this morning in two booby-trapped vehicles at police stations outside Algiers, the capital of Algeria, killing three people, one a woman, injuring 24 others and damaging the buildings and nearby cars, the national police said.

AN 18-month-old baby has been pulled alive from the rubble of a building which collapsed in Algeria's earthquake.

RESCUE workers scrabbled at mounds of rubble yesterday to find survivors of an earthquake in the Algerian capital and nearby towns that killed more than 1,000 people and injured more than 6,000.
