The Alliance France-Israel, headed by Minister of Information Jacques Soustelle, expressed “horror” today at the murder of two Jewish Agency emissaries to Algeria.
Gen. Edmond Laurent, honorary chairman, said in the message: “The two murdered men were guiltless and went to Algeria on a non-combatant mission. They were murdered together with French officers, in cold blood.” The victims were Yaacov Hassan, 36, and Raphael Ben Jera, 38. They were kidnapped by the Algeria rebel movement.
