Thalit massacre

Thalit massacre

The Thalit massacre took place in Thalit village (Médéa, near Ksar el Boukhari; see [http://www.fallingrain.com/world/AG/6/Ksar_el_Boukhari.html map] ), some 70 km from Algiers, on April 3-4 1997. 52 out of the 53 inhabitants were killed, having their throats slit by armed guerrillas who burned their houses afterwards. Smaller-scale massacres took place the same day at Amroussa, Sidi Naamane, Moretti, and Beni Slimane, killing another 30-odd people. The attack was blamed on Islamist guerrillas such as the Armed Islamic Group(GIA).Fact|date=March 2008
