ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) -- A suicide car bombing targeting an Algerian police academy has killed at least 43 people and injured 38, the Algerian Interior Ministry said Tuesday.
The ministry said in a statement that the death toll was a "preliminary estimate" for the attack early Tuesday in the Les Issers district of Boumerdes, some 60 kilometers (35 miles) east of the capital, Algiers.
A security official on the scene told The Associated Press that the attack occurred as young applicants were in line, waiting to register at the local police academy.
