Thirty five hostages, 15 kidnappers killed in Algeria

BAMAKO (Mali): The Algerian military launched an operation on Thursday against armed Islamist extremists holding dozens of hostages at a remote gas field on Thursday, and a top Algerian official said at least four hostages were freed.




The militants claimed that strafing by Algerian helicopters killed 35 hostages and 15 kidnappers. Islamists with the Masked Brigade, who have been speaking through a Mauritanian news outlet, said the Algerians opened fire as the militants tried to leave the vast energy complex with their hostages a day after seizing the installation deep in the desert. The militant spokesman said the leader of the kidnappers, Abou El Baraa, was among those killed. He said the militants would blow up the remaining hostages if the Algeria army approached.
