The O.A.S. killed more Algerian civilians than the F.L.N. did. [fact]

In less than a year the O.A.S. had killed 2,360 people in Algeria, and wounded another 5,418; according to the calculations of Vitalis Cros, in the Algiers zone alone their activities over the last six months of the war had claimed three times as many civilian victims as had the F.L.N. from the beginning of 1956 onwards; i.e. including the Battle of Algiers.
