The assassination of Mohamed Boudiaf took place on 29 June 1992. As Chairman of the High Council of Algeria, Boudiaf was killed by one of his own bodyguards, Lambarek Boumaarafi, who was presented officially as an Islamic fundamentalist, and a sympathiser of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), who acted alone. He was assassinated in Annaba while addressing a public meeting on June 29, 1992, which was later broadcast on national TV.
He received three bullets, two in the head and one in his back.[1] He was president for only five months, after his return from exile in Morocco to rule over the High Council of State (HCE) that emerged as a constitutional alternative to the Islamic State declared by the FIS after winning 1991 first democratic elections in the country since its independence in 1962. His mission was to crush the FIS, stop the civil war and restore order.[2]
