The Oued Bouaïcha massacre took place about 150 miles south of Algiers, near Djelfa, on March 26, 1998. 52 people, including 32 children under the age of two, were killed at Oued Bouaïcha in the municipality of Bouiret Lahdab (see map (http://www.fallingrain.com/world/AG/0/Bouira_el_Adebad.html); near Had Sahary) by about 15 men carrying axes and knives, who also kidnapped 3 young women. On the same day, another 11 were killed on the other side of the country at Youb (see map (http://www.fallingrain.com/world/AG/10/Youb.html)), at a place whose name is variously given as Adda Bensekrane or Bab Essekrane.
