		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.

	Unexpectedly, Algerian Peace Seems Possible (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Many Algerians have concluded that a faction among the generals, known as "The Conciliators," have been so shocked by the years of violence that they have concluded that they must begin transferring at least a measure of power to elected politicians if Algeria is to have any hope of ending its crisis.
		Not all Algerians are as quick to write off the Islamic guerrillas or the political party, the Islamic Salvation Front, which won the support of half the country's voters in the aborted election in December 1991.
		But Ibrahimi and several other candidates remain fearful of a backlash by a hard-line military group known among Algerians as "The Eradicators," from their adoption of a military policy in the early years of the violence that sought to eliminate the Islamic guerrillas and their political leaders by whatever means necessary.

	Informat.io on Armed Islamic Group
		The GIA adopted violent tactics in 1992 after the military government voided the victory of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), the largest Islamic opposition party, in the first round of legislative elections held in December 1991.
		Under the leadership of Antar Zouabri, its longest serving "emir" (1996-2002), the GIA became a "takfiri" group, considering Algerian society to be in violation of Islamic precepts, therefore justifying the killing of members of that society as a form of purification of heretical elements.
		In Algeria, however, the group's repeated massacres of civilians had drained popular support (although rumors persist that security forces were involved in some of the massacres, or even controlled the group).

		One of the former leaders of the main Algerian Islamist party (the FIS), Ali Benhadj, declared on Al Jazeera, before the execution of the two diplomats, that their kidnapping is justified because Iraq is under occupation and for Algeria to send diplomatic representives to that country amounts to supporting the United States.
		The Algerian Islamist group linked to Al Qaida (the GSPC)issued a statement asking the kidnappers to kill the diplmats because they are agents of an apostate government and there is a hadith saying that apostates should be put to death.
		Most Algerians find highly dubious and unlikely the proposition that Islamists have turned against their base out of some feeling of desperation and hopelessness and, as the official line claims, to punish those populations for allegedly not fully supporting them.

		Despite the emergence of a plethora of parties in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the FLN remained closely associated with the regime until the cataclysm of January 1992.
		These meetings concluded with the signing, in January 1995, of a "Platform for a Political and Peaceful Solution of the Algerian Crisis." The FLN (and the FIS) signed the Platform, which rejected violence as a means of achieving power, denounced dictatorship, consecrated the multi-party system and called for an end to army interference in politics.

		At its height, the struggle was marked by massacres of civilians, including the notorious 1997 killings by radical Islamists of some four hundred women, children, and men at Bentalha in the Mitidja plain.
		Such an outcome is fully congruent with Martinez's vision of the Algerian State as a historical arena of political and social contestation, in which elite figures typically replace one another through violence and with alacrity.
		Many Algerian fighters, after all, participated as Mujahidin in the jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan and remained in touch with their Egyptian, Chechen, and Saudi colleagues well into the 1990s.
