Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (Algeria) 6/62 22) BABIES BOMBED: Dead or alive? That is unspoken \ question in the eyes of an Algiers rescue worker as he \ evacuates a baby from the city's Mustapha Hospital. On June \ 15, in one final big night of terror, the O.A.S. set off four \ big explosive charges in the hospital. Moslem volunteers \ moved the patients to an improvised hospital in a Moslem school. \ Credit: Marc Riboud © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
