Thalit MassacreThe Thalit massacre took place in Thalit village (Mda, near Ksar el Boukhari; see map), some 70 km from Algiers, on April 3-4 1997. 52 out of the 53 inhabitants were killed, having their throats slit by armed guerrillas who burned their houses afterwards. Smaller-scale massacres took place the same day at Amroussa, Sidi Naamane, Moretti, and Beni Slimane, killing another 30-odd people. The attack was blamed on Islamist guerrillas such as the GIA.
