No Hostages Alive In Algeria

I've been following the news of the Al-Qaeda attack in Algeria, and all the terrorists and hostages have been killed. It's terrible that the innocent people couldn't be rescued, but ultimately a hard-line and no negotiations will lead to an end to hostage taking. The leader of this group had made millions for Al-Qaeda through kidnapping and ransoms, and hopefully he was among those killed.

I suppose if you go work in a place like Algeria, you have to be prepared for things like this to happen.

The terrorists first attacked a convoy of buses leaving the plant, but guards drove them off during a firefight. They then stormed the plant and were able to get inside. You can bet there now will be a fleet of killer drones flying over the desert, hunting for anyone affiliated with this group.
