The motives for the murder of the Trappists is still unclear. The corpses were never found, rather only the decapitated heads. A French General testified in 2009 that the Algerian Military accidentally killed the monks by a helicopter attack on an Islamic position. The Algerians disagree however, that the Islamic movement GIA had beheaded the religions after a month of captivity.
The case was treated in 2010 film by French director, Xavier Beauvois in his film "Of Men and Gods". The work received numerous prizes, among others the film festival in Cannes.
