43 dead in suicide attack on Algerian police school
August 20, 2008
The attacker drove a car packed with explosives at the main entrance to the school as candidates for an entry exam were waiting outside, witnesses told AFP. Civilians as well as police officers were among the victims and a major security operation was under way there, they added. The casualty figures were still provisional, the ministry said in a statement. But it is already the deadliest attack in the country in several months, worse than the December 2007 attack in Algiers against government and United Nations buildings, which killed 41 people and injured many others.
