...reluctant to give guarantees of safety to some of the more notorious European leaders in the terrorist Secret Army Organization, 2) the F.L.N. wants a firm, detailed timetable on the French agreement to evacuate its army from Algeria within three years, 3) both sides must agree on the Moslem-European membership of the twelve-man Provisional Executive, which will temporarily govern Algeria...
...weary negotiation teams, headed by F.L.N. Vice Premier Belkacem Krim and De Gaulle's Algerian Affairs Minister Louís Joxe. But the daily bloodbath in Algeria mocked the long-delayed promise of peace. The death toll in 1962 has mounted to 1,400. In Algiers, Moslem gunmen shot dead a taxi driver known to be an S.A.O. leader. Within 15 minutes, bands of S.A.O. killers appeared at populous street corners and gunned down 35 Moslem passersby. Three other S.A.O. gunmen last week casually strolled the length of fashionable Rue Michelet shooting all Moslems in their path. While Europeans...

The efforts of a few French and Algerian lawyers to defend Moslems against charges "confessed" to under torture have also attracted support...
While the war was ending, the desperate extremists of the Secret Army Organization stepped up their terrorist campaign in Algeria to an unprecedented pitch. Two French army pilots took off in their planes and strafed an F.L.N. army camp across the Moroccan border. While veiled Moslem women mourned the slain, the pilots returned to their base in Algeria and promptly deserted. In a single day in Algeria, 75 people were killed or wounded. In Algiers, European gunmen spread chaos, killing at least 20 anti-S.A.O. commandos of De Gaulle's government. The police received emergency calls reporting murders...
