F.L.N. borrowed its cell structure and tactics from French resistance and Viet-Minh

Evidence

The country was divided into six autonomous zones or Wilayas, giving the rebellion an integral structure that it would retain over the next seven and a half years. Operation groups would be formed in watertight compartments, with no more than four or five trusted men knowing each other. On D-Day each group leader was to act in accordance with a very precise plan, and attacks were to be directed against specific public installations, private property of the grands colons, French military personnel and gendarmes, and Muslim collaborators. European civilians — especially women and children — were to be strictly immune; there would be no repetition of Sétif. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 254 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
