Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claimed credit for yesterday’s suicide attack on a police station in the town of Thenia. “A lion’s cub of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, valiant martyr Hamza Abu Abderrahman, drove a vehicle laden with at least 650 kilograms (1,430 pounds) of explosives against the ramparts of the apostates: the judicial police station in Thenia.” Three were killed and 23 wounded.
