Algeria passenger bus bursts into flames after crash

Algerian officials say at least 34 people have been killed in a road accident in the southern province of Tamanrasset.

The civil protection agency said a passenger bus collided with a utility vehicle before bursting into flames.

A further 12 people were injured.

Those involved have not yet been identified, but Tamanrasset is close to Niger and Mali, and is a frequent crossing point for migrants from sub-Saharan Africa trying to reach Europe.
