So same are IRA phoning in before a car bomb explosion, some efforts to avoid loss of life in this case. The DGSE ancestor (SDECE) did murder some Algerian independence militants and associates in Europe during the late 50s early 60s tho. Some of them being European, like some German arms dealers (https://www.theafricareport.com/46441/algeria-the-dark-side-of-french-intelligence-services-during-the-war/ https://www.theafricareport.com/46441/algeria-the-dark-side-...)
