The F.L.N. physically extended its Algerian terror and fundraising methods to metropolitan France.

Evidence

Progressively, the F.L.N. had indeed begun to impose discipline upon the some four hundred thousand Algerian workers in metropolitan France. In November 1954 Messali’s M.N.A. was strongly entrenched among this Algerian proletariat, particularly in the Paris region, and if there were still “brawls at night” these were generally an extension of the vendetta from Algeria, a settling of accounts between the F.L.N. and M.N.A. … Acting under the innocent-sounding name of the Fédération de France, the F.L.N. employed methods similar to those in Algeria: the collection of funds under pressure and threats from café and hotel owners, pimps and shopkeepers, as well as down to even the poorer manual workers; and the selective elimination of informers, M.N.A. cell-leaders, and “friends of France”. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 743
