Special Organisation (Algeria)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Special Organisation (in French: Organisation Spéciale) was a paramilitary organisation in colonial Algeria, set-up by the Algerian People's Party (PPA) at the convention of MTLD in 1947 to ensure national liberation. OS had around 1500 to 2000 members at its peak, and spawned the groups that would later form the the FLN.
OS was dismantled in 1951. Only the units in Aurès and Kabylia remained active at the time.
