The OAS, the French underground organization in Algiers, was reported here today to have again bombed Jewish shops and homes in Algeria, causing considerable damage but no known deaths. A kosher butcher shop in the Bab-El Oued section of Algiers was blown up by the OAS, as were a number of Jewish homes in the area.
The attacks were understood to have been made in reprisal against participation by Jews in Algeria in a recent Moslem strike for independence from France, and also against the Jews who have left Algeria. Such emigration is considered by the European extremists as “treason” toward french Algeria.
