Algiers in Through Darkest Europe

Algiers was a city in the Republican Sultanate of the Maghrib, in a region famous for its wines. In AH 1439, armed Aquinist terrorists attacked an Algiers shopping mall, killing Muslims and hostages, destroying shops and fighting security forces as long as they could. When they could not fight any longer, they killed themselves with some booby-trapping their bodies with explosives first.
