The NEFA Foundation has obtained and translated a communiqué issued by "the Al-Qaida Network in the Islamic Maghreb" (formerly known as the Salafist Group for Prayer and Combat, GSPC) claiming responsibility for yesterday's twin suicide car bombings in the capital of Algeria targeting local offices of the United Nations and the "headquarters of the constitutional council", responsible for overseeing the process of democratic elections. Media sources have reported that the bombings killed at least 37 people and wounded scores more.
