Pereira is collateral damage, DGSE setup two bombs, one to make people evacuate the ship, one later to sink it. He went back to ship to retrieve a camera IIRC. So same are IRA phoning in before a car bomb explosion, some efforts to avoid loss of life in this case.

The DGSE ancestor (SDECE) did murder some Algerian independence militants and associates in Europe during the late 50s early 60s tho. Some of them being European, like some German arms dealers (https://www.theafricareport.com/46441/algeria-the-dark-side-...)

Collateral damage becomes a certainty when you start planting bombs everywhere. How could it not? One does not approve these missions thinking the chances are low (and I doubt one would care much if the civilians don't live anywhere that'll be able to kick up a fuss.)

It's still different from a targeted assassination.
