Beni-Ali massacre

Beni-Ali massacre

The Beni-Ali massacre took place in the mountain hamlet of Beni Ali, 40 miles south of Algiers near Chrea, on 26 August 1997. 64 (according to the New York Times and CNN) or 100 people (according to Amnesty International) were killed. Just three days later came the even larger Rais massacre. According to CNN, "one girl who escaped with bullet wounds said a gang leader ordered his men to 'take the most beautiful girls and kill all the rest.'"
