ALGERIAN BOMBING
Damage To Houses
(N Z.P.A .-Reuter —Copyright) ALGIERS, June 9 Plastic charges exploded last night outside the homes of the former Commander-in-Chief in Algiers, General Fernand Gambiez, ar.d Admiral Jean Marie Querville, who took a firm stand against the rebel former-generals in the recent abortive Algiers coup. Nobody was hurt in either incident, but in both cases some damage was done to the outside of the villas. General Gambiez. who was captured by the rebels in the revolt in April, is now Director of Higher National Defence Studies and of Military Instruction. Five Moslems from one family were injured, three seriously, when a plastic bomb wrecked their grocery shop at Fouka, a village 25 miles west of Algiers.
