Abane’s death details remain unconfirmed because no witness would speak

Evidence

Insofar as Krim was Courrière’s source concerning the death of Abane, it should be remembered that Krim was an interested party and possibly had an axe to grind against his former colleagues. He was in fact murdered, in sinister circumstances, while in exile years after the war. On the other hand, neither his nor Lebjaoui’s account—nor a similar version which appeared in the widely circulated Historia magazine series, “La Guerre d’Algérie”, has been refuted by any Algerian source. In Algiers in 1984 a senior Algerian official told the author simply: Abane “was helped to suicide”. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 724 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
