F.L.N. France terrorism avoided indiscriminate civilian bombing

Evidence

In all this wave of terrorism it should be noted, however, that there was not one act of promiscuous bombing against civilians such as had been commonplace in Algiers and was to become so on a larger scale in Britain under the scourge of the I.R.A. a decade and a half later. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 970
