The Guelb El-Kebir massacre took place in a small town near Beni Slimane (Medea, Algeria; see [http://www.fallingrain.com/world/AG/6/Beni_Slimane.html map] ) on the night of the 19 and 20 September of 1997. 53 people, mainly women and children, were killed. "La Tribune" ( 21 September ) is quoted as claiming that the massacre was committed by the AIS to punish the village for supporting the GIA.
