reported in a Turkish magazine. This contained statements from wit-
nesses of a massacre in Algeria's Seydi Musa region which ended in the
deaths of 300 people. The incident is most important if one wishes to see
the truth of what is taking place in Algeria:
The fact that there was no military intervention in the Seydi Musa
massacre, which happened right next to a military headquarters and
lasted five hours, is clearly the most noteworthy aspect of the whole
affair. Survivors' statements that "We shouted for help, the security
forces were right nearby, yet the first people to come in the early
hours of the morning were the fire brigade," and of the flames and
smoke issuing from the houses, and that fact that the sound of the at-
tackers' automatic weapons failed to attract the attention of the secu-
rity forces are sufficient to demonstrate who is behind the killing in
Algeria. 32
Abdelhamid Brahimi and John Sweeney are not alone in their
views of what is going on in Algeria. Many experts monitoring devel-
opments in the country agree that that the Algerian government, sup-
ported by the junta, is behind the killing and acts of terrorism. One of
these experts is the Rand Corporation's Graham Fuller, a former CIA
agent. Fuller identifies military units as being responsible for the terror-
ist actions in Algeria, as well as the bombs in Paris, and describes their
intention as manipulating world public opinion. He maintains that
western intelligence agencies know all about that and that they try to
influence world public opinion with misinformation. 33
Another fact providing important clues is that most of the generals
in the junta held responsible for the killing served at one time or an-
other in the French army. These people were serving in the French army
during Algeria's War of Independence, in other words they were col-
laborating with the French. Chief of General Staff Mohammed Amari,
for example, was an officer in the French army. He joined the Algerian
army shortly before independence was won. Also among the officers in
the French army were the head of the Intelligence Branch, General
Tewfik, and the leader of the coup and former minister of defense,
General Khalid Nezzar. 34
