Islamic militants take Western hostages in attack on Algeria natural gas installation - CBS News
ALGIERS, ALGERIA Islamist militants attacked and occupied on Wednesday a natural gas field partly operated by BP in southern Algeria early Wednesday, killing two people and holding foreigners hostage while surrounded by Algerian forces.
A militant group claimed responsibility for the attack saying it was in revenge for Algeria's support of France's operation against al-Qaida-linked Malian rebels groups far to the southeast. It said it was holding dozens of foreigners hostage.
