Feraoun died just as Algeria's war was ending. [fact]

The last to die was Mouloud Feraoun, hit by twelve bullets in the chest. The previous month he had entered in his Journal on a rare note of joy: "The war in Algeria is ending. Peace to those who are dead. Peace to those who are going to survive. Let the terror cease. Vive la liberté!"

QUESTION: Who exactly killed Feraoun and the other assassinated writers? What was the political context of these killings at war's end?
