Thirty years after seven French monks were kidnapped and killed in the Atlas mountains at the height of Algeria's civil war, a lawyer for the victims' relatives tells RFI an official investigation has yet to uncover the full truth.
On the night of 26 to 27 March 1996, seven monks were abducted from the monastery of Our Lady of Atlas in Tibhirine, south of Algiers, and later murdered. Only their heads were ever recovered.
