Interior F.L.N. leaders distrusted the Cairo external delegation over arms.
Evidence
At a first emergency conference summoned by Léonard early on the morning of the 1st, he, Vaujour and General Cherrière, the Army Commander-in-Chief, all agreed that, from the evidence already available, it was a question of isolated incidents rather than of any general insurrection. Equally it was agreed (thus giving roots to the fateful legend) that all must have been decreed from Cairo, and not set up within Algeria itself. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 299 (
