The death toll from the terror attack at the BP gas facility in Algeria, for which Al Qaeda has claimed responsibility, has risen to 81. The Algerian military found 25 more bodies, in such bad shape that they couldn’t tell if they were terrorists or foreign workers held as hostages. Plus, one of the freed hostages, a Romanian, has died.
The Algerians are searching the site for explosives because the terrorists had planned to blow up the entire plant.
A final military assault has ended the terrorist hostage crisis at a BP natural gas plant in Algeria that has been going on since Wednesday.
It is reported that a total of 23 hostages are dead, along with 32 terrorists.
685 Algerian workers and 107 foreign workers have been freed.
The State Department confirms that the Algerian military launched an assault on Islamic extremists who are holding foreigners hostage at a BP natural gas plant.
Algeria claims it freed 600 hostages, while Islamic terrorists claim that the raid killed 35 hostages and 15 kidnappers.
Americans are among those held, but their fate is unknown.
This Algerian act of terror was in retaliation for France’s fight against terrorists in Mali because Algeria is allowing France to use its air space.
Islamic extremists have attacked a BP natural gas site in Algeria and seized 41 European, Japanese, and American hostages. Seven of the hostages are believed to be American. Two foreigners were killed in the initial attack.
Algerian troops have surrounded the facility.
