A SUICIDE bomber rammed a car full of explosives into a line of trainee police officers, killing at least 43 and injuring 45, in Algeria's deadliest terrorist attack since the 1990s.
The bloodbath at a police training school rocked the gas and oil-rich US ally in North Africa where Islamic violence is increasing.
Witnesses said the blast in Les Issers dug a 3ft deep crater in the road and ripped off parts of the building's roof.
