   General knowledge   
      
   The Oran massacre of 1962 (July 5 – July 7, 1962) was the mass killing of   
   Pied-Noir and European expatriates living in Algeria by members of the   
   Algerian National Liberation Army. It took place in Oran beginning on the date   
   of Algerian independence,    
   and ended on July 7, 1962. Estimates of the casualties vary from a low of 95   
   (twenty of whom were European)[2] to 365 deaths in a report by a group of   
   historians sent to the French government in 2006,[3] and has been a topic of   
   speculation for right wing    
   elements.
