Commando Delta

The Commando Delta were death squads of the Organisation armée secrète (OAS) active in French Algeria during the early 1960s.

However, a certain number of killings were alleged to have been done by the Service de documentation extérieure et de contre-espionnage (SDECE) to discredit the OAS, with such allegations ascribing them to the Service d'Action Civique or the La Main Rouge.

As a result, it is not possible to clearly define which actions were ascribable to the Commando Delta in the chaotic situation of the time.

The Commando Delta notably participated in the following actions : Several thousand murders of Algerians were attributed to the OAS.
