Commando Delta

The Commando Delta organizations were assassination teams under the control of the Organisation armée secrète (OAS) in Algeria during the early 1960s. The teams "interdicted" European neighborhoods by assassinating Muslims who entered. The Commandos Delta were organized by Roger Degueldre in 1961. The "Delta" signified Degueldre, a sublieutenant who deserted from the French Foreign Legion in 1961.

The Commandos Delta were also responsible for the assassination of persons considered "soft" or traitors to the cause of French Algeria. Nevertheless, a certain number of killings were alleged to have been done by the Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (DGSE) security forces to discredit the OAS, carried out by the Service d'Action Civique or the Red Hand.

Several thousand murders of Algerians were attributed to the OAS.

The Commando Delta name has been used in more recent times by elements of the French extreme right:
