CONSTANTINE, Algeria (AA) – The Daesh terrorist group has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in eastern Algeria.
Algerian authorities said two policemen were injured when a bomber detonated an explosives-laden bag at a police station in the city of Constantine on Sunday.
In a statement posted on the internet on Monday, Daesh said a group member had targeted a police station in central Constantine in a “martyrdom operation”.
In October, a policeman was shot dead by gunmen in a restaurant in northern Constantine.
