The workers were at a construction project near one of the two
explosions in Algiers that have killed at least 67 people and left
dozens more injured.
Five of the injured workers have left hospital after brief
treatment, while the other two remained under medical care, with no
life-threatening wounds.
The two car bombings, one targeted the offices of the UN refugee
agency and the other exploded near the Algerian Supreme Court
building, have claimed at least 67 lives, said a health ministry
source.
Around 12 UN staff members in Algiers were missing after the
explosions, said a spokesman who previously had said 10 UN staff
were among the dead.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
