Consider within the context of the Algerian Civil war and this previous blog entry the murder and martyrdom of these religious workers takes on a special meaning?
From the Catholic News Service:
"Monks killed in Algeria to be recognized as martyrs"
"They were martyred, probably by Islamic extremists, in the early 1990s"
"A bishop, seven Trappist monks and 11 other religious men and women killed by extremists in Algeria in the 1990s will soon be recognized as martyrs"
THAT ALLEGATION THAT THE ALGERIAN COUNTER-INSURGENCY JUNTA USED FALSE-FLAG OPERATIONS ON A MASSIVE SCALE, EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF CREATING AND CONTROLLING THE INSURGENCY ITSELF!!
See from various sources how this matter has been presented to the general public:

The truth is out there, but probably will never be know with 100 % absolute certainty.
