BBC World Service - Witness History, The Algerian Massacres

The story of one atrocity in Algeria's battle with radical Islamists in the 1990s

In the 1990s, the Algerian military was locked in a brutal struggle with radical Islamists. It's estimated that more than 150,000 people were killed. The conflict was marked by massacres of entire villages.  In 2013, Alex Last spoke to Marc Marginedas, a Spanish journalist who reported on the infamous massacre of Sidi Hamed in January 1998.
