 ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) - Bearded men in flowing white robes prayed and women in Muslim head scarves wiped away tears Friday as Algerians buried victims of twin suicide bombings at U.N. offices and a government building that killed at least 37 people.
Rescue workers ended the search for survivors where the truck bombs blew apart buildings in Algiers on Tuesday, and efforts turned to cleanup and to mourning.
The bombings claimed by a former insurgent group now calling itself al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa sent a chilling reminder that the government's fight against religious extremists is far from over — and becoming increasingly international.
