At least 43 people, mainly civilians and police recruits, were killed and 38 others were injured Tuesday when a suicide bomber drove a car filled with explosives into a police academy about 35 miles east of the Algerian capital. Last December, Algiers was rocked by twin car bombs near United Nations offices and an Algerian government building, in an attack that killed more than thirty people and in what was then the deadliest attack here in more than a decade. Those bombings had come after a string of suicide attacks throughout last year, including an attack in April in which two cars exploded, killing more than thirty and wounding two hundred, and a suicide attack in a crowd awaiting the appearance of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika that killed dozens of people, but not the president. The terrorist group al Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb, North Africa’s most active terrorist group, claimed responsibility for the earlier attacks, but there appeared to be no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing Tuesday.Rico says these assholes need to be terminated with extreme prejudice...
