In Algeria northeast of Algiers, two French divisions broke through and mopped up remnants of a large Algerian force trapped in Biban Mountains. French estimates put rebel casualties at 290 killed and 110 captured with broader losses possible, as reports say battles continue near Bougie. Major action involved mechanized and infantry divisions, helicopter insertions, artillery and air strikes, with rebels’ two small arms factories seized. The victory coincides with Premier Guy Mollet facing a confidence vote on North African policy. In the Oran region, another French division attacked rebel cave networks around Lourmel with light tanks and naval gunfire.
