Posted on: Wednesday, 20 August 2008, 03:00 CDT
A suicide bombing outside a police academy in Algeria left at least 43 people dead Tuesday, authorities said.
Dozens more people were reported injured and the death toll could wind up higher, The Daily Telegraph reported.
While no group had claimed responsibility, the attack resembled the previous works of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the British newspaper said.
The blast in Issers, which occurred as dozens of young people lined up to take an entrance test, was the deadliest terrorist strike in Algeria in two years.
