F.L.N. shifted its terrorist focus to metropolitan France

Evidence

But it was in the mother country that the F.L.N.—similarly to the I.R.A. in times of maximum stress in the 1970s—now concentrated its terrorist activities. Between 24 August and 28 September there were 181 attacks on property and 242 against people, causing eighty-two deaths and injuring another 168. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 969
