...highways. Foreign diplomats and newsmen were ordered to keep off the roads and stay close to Algiers. Colonel Tahar Zbiri, the army chief of staff, was in hiding after attempting a coup, and with him had gone many of Algeria's top officers. Troops loyal to President Houari Boumediene combed the snow-covered mountain range where Zbiri was last seen, and the government ordered a nationwide manhunt for a list of civilian plotters that included Boumediene's Labor Minister Abdelaziz Zerdani. Flamboyant but Uneducated. Tensions between Boumediene and his army chief had been building ever since...

Fearing that the old cries for jihad (holy war) were about to be toned down, Algeria's leftist President, Houari Boumediene, decided the meeting was not worth bothering about...

Boumediene went to Moscow straight from Cairo, where five of the more militant and left...
Though Tshombe could not be extradited for purely political reasons, ruled the Algerian Supreme Court, "Algerian justice does not shield murder and robbery." If President Houari Boumediene ratifies the Court's decision Tshombe must go home-presumably to his doom. For the best-known avocat in the French-speaking world, it was a rare, bitter defeat. In 20,000 cases, Floriot has lost only two clients to the guillotine and about ten to the firing squad...
