The Tiaret massacres took place on 9 July and 2 September 2001 in the town of Tiaret, Algeria. The first massacre happened on 9 July when an armed group attacked the home of a family of eight overnight. The militants shot dead the father and five of the six children; the mother was wounded and the sixth child was kidnapped. The house was burned down afterwards. Fighters of the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria were active in this area.[1] The second massacre happened on 2 September when militants killed eight people, including four women, in a poor district of Tiaret.[2] Further people from the same family were beheaded as they returned by taxi to their home near Mascara.[2]
