Local police officials say eight officers were injured in the attack on the station in Tizi Ouzou at 4 a.m. Sunday, while the other victims were from surrounding buildings that were also heavily damaged.
A doctor living nearby, Alliche Brahim, said the blast awoke everyone in the mountain-ringed town, located some 100 kilometers east of Algiers.
The Kabylie region is the stronghold of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
