Terror stalks Algerian who didn't want to pay
In a Paris suburb Mohand Bouradia, 28, fears death after being pressured by FLN influence in France. An Algerian migrant works in a factory, was ordered to contribute to the Algerian rebellion, and was abducted and condemned in an improvised FLN court. He awaits a dangerous fate while authorities detain suspected agents.
Students At SFA Troubled by Cafe Escape Scene
Bouradia tried to write a family note as police searched a cafe where a lookout spotted officers. He learned a friend went to a police station, was hustled out the rear, and driven away. A man in the cafe handed him a thousand old francs and ordered him into a taxi, warning him not to tell anyone or face death. Police questioned Bouradia after pressure to speak.
