...company of loyal soldiers. (Toward week's end, the ministers shamefacedly began to slink back into the city; one sneaked upstairs to his quarters in the Hotel Aletti through the back door.) Two government ministers, however, left Algiers not in flight but ostensibly to fight. Tough, able Belkacem Krim, who conducted the F.L.N.'s peace negotiations with the French, and shrewd, ambitious Mohammed Boudiaf, a onetime jailmate and implacable foe of Ben Bella's, set up headquarters in the rugged, all but impenetrable Kabylia area and vowed to resist Ben Bella's takeover "to the last...
...Bella sent his most trusted lieutenant, Mohammed Khidder, to Algiers to work out a peaceful takeover agreement with Benkhedda. His forces continued to fan out over the country, however, took control of the important east Algeria seaport of Philippeville. Unexpectedly Krim also showed up in Algiers, speaking more mellowly; he would not attack the Ben Bella forces, he said, would only resist any invasion of the Kabylia...
Meanwhile, the bitter rivals were facing new complications. From Algiers, word came that Benkhedda was finished, and that his future role-no matter what his title-could only be a subordinate one.

Belkacem Krim and Mohammed Boudiaf had been named for the politburo, but Boumedienne denounced them both as "usurpers" and accused them of having "collaborated" with France in the days before Algerian independence...
Last Plea. Vice Premier Belkacem Krim of the Moslem F.L.N. flew in from his headquarters in Tunis to confer with members of the Provisional Government at Le Rocher Noir, the administrative center near Algiers. If anyone could talk to the killers and terrorists of the S.A.O. it was Krim, who had last appeared in Algeria in 1957 as a leader of the F.L.N. underground, which was spreading death and destruction among the Europeans. The S.A.O. had sworn never to allow an F.L.N. leader to enter Algeria alive, but the rightist newspaper L'Anrore hailed his presence and the prospect...
