They say the bomber detonated his car near a police station. At least seven people were also wounded in the attack.

There has been a upsurge in violence in Algeria in recent months. About 40 people died in suicide attacks against a UN building in Algiers in December.

Al-Qaeda’s North African wing said it carried out that attack – whose victims included 17 UN staff.

The Naciria attack occurred at 0700 (0600 GMT) on Wednesday.

“A suicide bomber drove into the police station at the wheel of a booby-trapped car, causing major damage to the building,” an eyewitness said.

He added that most of the victims had been police officers.
