Anxiety again gripped the Algerian Jewish community today when 60-year-old Camille Levy was shot to death by three unidentified terrorists.

Today’s killing followed the murders this week of David Zermati, president of the Jewish community of Setif, Algeria, and Dr. Joseph Cohen, a well-known Algiers physician

Algerian police said today they could not determine whether the terrorists who killed Mr. Levy were members of the Algerian FLN rebel organization or of the OAS, the French European underground group.
