On the 22nd the O.A.S. — with total impunity, and apparently aided by the bank clerks — pulled off the biggest bank raid in history to date, getting away with 2,200 million francs (about $4,700,000 or nearly £1,000,000) from the Banque d'Algérie in the centre of Oran.

QUESTION: What became of the O.A.S. and their stolen funds? This detail about mid-century Algerian terrorism funding is worth pursuing.
