On December 8-9, 1998, 81 villagers (45 according to the initial reports) were killed by armed groups (presumably the GIA) in three mountain villages near Tadjena, some 170 km west of Algiers, in the Chlef region of western Algeria. The manner of killing is reported to have been notably sadistic, mutilating victims including children. In addition, 20 women were kidnapped. The month was Ramadan in the Islamic calendar.
