	UNESCO CONDEMNS BENTALHA MASSACRE {23 September 1997}
		Paris, September 23 {No.97-157} - UNESCO Director-General Federico Mayor today condemned the massacre perpetrated in Bentalha, near Algiers on the night of Monday to Tuesday.
		Mr Mayor has repeatedly condemned these senseless barbaric massacres and stressed the need for a unanimous reaction: "condemnation must be universal, censure total.
		Everywhere in the world, voices - those of political leaders as well as those of religious, cultural, educational organisations, etc. - must make themselves heard to say no to such slaughter; to say that they are unbearable, unjustifiable.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Bentalha massacre
		At the village of Bentalha, about 15 km south of Algiers, on the night of September 22-23, 1997, more than 200 villagers (according to Amnesty International) were killed by armed guerrillas.
		Bentalha (Arabic بن طلحة), a town a few km south of Baraki (see map), a satellite town of Algiers, voted FIS in the elections, and many inhabitants were initially in favor of the Islamist guerrilla groups which began fighting the government after the elections' cancellation; some joined them.
		On September 21, at 11:30 pm, explosions rocked the Hai el-Djilali neighborhood on the southwest side of Bentalha, and attackers began pouring in from the orange groves to the neighborhood's southeast.

	Who are really responsible for the massacres in Algeria?
		The massacres have systematically been committed at night, by large groups of men who attacked the inhabitants, often in their sleep, killing entire families and villages and pursuing and killing whoever attempted to escape.
		However, the situation of massacres is fundamentally different in so far as the massacres often last for several hours, during which nearby security forces should have ample time to intervene to stop the massacres and to apprehend the attackers, who up to now have always been able to leave undisturbed.
		Many massacres have taken place in areas where a large percentage of the population had voted for the FIS in the 1990 municipal elections and in the 1991 legislative elections.

		Massacre has a number of meanings, but most commonly refers to individual events of deliberate and direct mass murder, especially of non-combatant civilians without any reasonable means of defense, that would qualify as war crimes or atrocities.
		Additionally, the word massacre is often used for political or propaganda purposes, and the choice of whether to label an event a massacre may become a sensitive one; see, for example, the Kent State shootings.
		In reprisal for the Malmedy massacre sixty German soldiers are executed by a unit of the U.S. 11th Armored Division outside the town of Chenogne.

	Science Fair Projects - Bentalha massacre
		Bentalha (Arabic بن طلحة), a town a few km south of Baraki (see map), a satellite town of Algiers, voted FIS in the elections, and many inhabitants were initially in favor of the Islamist guerrilla groups which began fighting the government after the elections' cancellation; some joined them.
		Opponents of this position argue that the question of "who kills?" is obscene, and that the murderers are known to be Islamist guerrillas; for instance, Zazi Sadou of the Algerian Assembly of Women for Democracy claims (in Communalism Combat, April 1998) that:
		Likewise, Yous and Habib Souaidia were denounced by Algerian TV on 16 April 2001 as "those who would profit from this confusion in wanting to exonerate the armed groups and discredit the State institutions which had saved the country from fundamentalist barbarism."[4]

	Algeria: Civilians Caught in a Spiral of Violence Amidst the Indifference of the International Community
		Most of these massacres were committed around the capital in the Algiers, Blida and Medea regions - in the most heavily militarized part of the country - and often near army and security forces barracks.
		Both Rais and Bentalha are virtually surrounded by army barracks and security forces outposts, and survivors of the Bentalha massacre have reported that military troops with armoured vehicles were stationed a few hundred metres away as the massacre was taking place.
		The massacres lasted for hours; Yet despite the screams of the victims, sound of gunshots, flames and smoke from the burning houses, the security forces stationed nearby never intervened to come to the rescue of the victims, nor to arrest those responsible for the massacres, who got away on each occasion.

	Survivor of massacre starts to rebuild life (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The massacre in Sidi Rais, 12 miles southwest of Algiers, was the worst single episode of carnage since the start of an Islamic insurgency, which in less than six years has taken Algeria to the outer edge of the imaginable.
		But the plunge into massacres has given a new dimension to the conflict: wanton savagery that climaxed with the late-night raid by armed men on Rais.
		The Rais massacre and a mass slaughter three weeks later in Bentalha fueled speculation that elements of Algeria's military-backed regime somehow had a hand in the violence.
