NOUAKCHOTT: Islamists are holding 41 foreigners hostage, including seven Americans, after an attack on a gas field in eastern Algeria, a spokesman for the militants told two Mauritanian news websites. "Forty-one westerners including seven Americans, French, British and Japanese citizens have been taken hostage," a spokesman for the Islamists told the Mauritanian News Agency as well as Sahara Media. The attack near the In Amenas gas field in southern Algeria appears to be the first reprisal against western interests for a French-backed offensive against jihadists in neighbouring Mali.
