Gen Paul Aussaresses who defended the use of torture by French forces during Algeria's war of independence has died. The 95-year-old retired general was the first senior French officer who admitted torturing and killing 24 Algerian prisoners-of-war in a book he published in 2001 about the conflict. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25214025#TWEET974881
