On this day, 10 August 1956, André Achiary, a former French military intelligence officer, alongside the Union Française Nord-Africaine terrorist group, planted a bomb in the Casbah, Algiers, which exploded killing 73 people. The attack was part of a brutal counterinsurgency campaign waged by France against the Algerian independence movement.
