 | | The Algerian authorities have erased the first evidence to appear of the graves of the hundreds, if not thousands, of people believed to have been kidnapped and killed by army-backed anti-Islamist militias in the 1990s, according to human rights campaigners. |
 | | But the human rights campaigners have photographic evidence, some of which the Guardian publishes today, showing the bones and clothing found near Relizane. |
 | | Among the items found were the green waterproof over-trousers worn by a local man, Saidane Abed, when he was detained by the local militia boss, Mohammed Fergane, on September 9 1996. |
