The trial of a group accused of decapitating a French mountain guide in Algeria begins on Thursday in Algiers.
Herve Gourdel was kidnapped and killed in 2014 while exploring a new climbing site in the Djurdjura Mountains.
A video of the murder published by Algerian jihadists linked to the Islamic State group caused shock in France.
One suspect, Abdelmalek Hamzaoui, faces a possible death penalty if found guilty of the murder.
Thirteen others are also accused of involvement or failing to alert the authorities in time.
