Terrorist incident in Algeria

The largest Omaria massacre took place on 23 April 1997 in the Algerian village of El Omaria near Médéa, south of Algiers. Attackers armed with knives, sabers, and guns killed 42 people - including 17 women and 3 babies - in 3 hours, mutilating and sometimes burning the bodies. A pregnant woman was cut open, and her baby hacked. The Haouch Khemisti massacre had taken place the day before.
