At least 45 people have died in two bomb blasts
in the Algerian capital, Algiers, officials have said.
The first explosion is reported to have happened in the central
El Biar area, near the constitutional court.
That was followed shortly afterwards by a second blast at the
United Nations offices in the Hydra neighbourhood.
A UN worker caught up in the Hydra attack told the BBC that part
of the building was destroyed and it was feared people were trapped.
Dozens were wounded in the blasts, officials say.

College bus hit
The UN confirmed that its offices had been hit, saying that some
of its staff had been injured.
In the other attack, near the constitutional court, a group
of students travelling on a college bus were among the casualties,
local media reports.
Algerian Interior Minister Yazid Zerhouni said the explosions
had been caused by two car bombs.
"The death toll is very high," Mr Zerhouni said without
giving a precise figure.
