Breaking - hostage situation - 7 Americans, many other other Westerners taken HOSTAGE in Algerian gas complex, Algerian assault has began

Canada just sent a C-17 globe master to help with heavy lift operations.
I suspect it will be the catalyst for an attack on Canadian interests in the region.

Harper's sacrificial lamb.

Yes, Mali attackers, this is the second site, one commentator said there are probably more like 80 to 100 hostages, as the entire gas field is under their control, they are now threatening to blow the whole thing up, if France does not stop the strikes in Mali.

This is why you have to keep your boot on the throat of these Muhammed, pediphile, ass backwards muslims.

We gave them Libya, Tunisia, Syria(in the making), Egypt, -what comes around goes around...

Statoil will hold a press conference about the situation in Algeria at 17:00 today at the head office in Stavanger.

On Wednesday morning Norwegian time Statoil was notified of a serious situation involving an attack on the In Amenas gas production facility in Algeria. Statoil will provide additional information when it is available.

In Amenas is a wet gas field operated through a joint venture between Sonatrach, BP and Statoil.

Statoil's emergency response organisation is now mobilised, and we are now working to get an overview of the situation. Our main focus is the safety of the employees at the facility.

Algerian authorities are handling the situation locally, while Norwegian and British authorities have also been informed of the incident.

Statoil has just under 20 employees at the facility, and more than 10 of these are Norwegian.

Not helpful developments. I can't see anyone trying to rescue the hostages anytime soon either.

Militant Islamist group claims to be holding “41 Western citizens,” at gas installation in eastern Algeria. now breaking on CNN

Souldnt you be on your prayer rug in butt fuck position?

While most people are glued to their tv's thinking the black helicopters are about to swoop in and "take all thur guuuns."

These Islamist fuckers seem to be very well organized, to pull something like this off in just a matter of days (since the start of the French action) seems to show that we have underestimated their capabilities.

Militant Islamist group claims to be holding “41 Western citizens,” at gas installation in eastern Algeria.

Mali about an hour ago
Al-Qaeda linked militants 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," the spokesman told the Mauritanian News Agency as well as Sahara Media.

He said five of the hostages were being held at the gas plant, while the others were in a housing complex on the site. Two foreigners, one a Briton, were reported killed in the dawn attack on a bus, according to AFP news agency.

According to the spokesman who did not give his name to the two media outlets - publishers of reliable communiques from the al Qaeda-linked rebels - the attack was "a reaction to Algeria's flagrant interference in allowing French planes into its airspace to launch raids on northern Malii".

"We are members of al-Qaeda and we came from northern Mali. We belong to the Khaled Abul Abbas Brigade led by Mokhtar Belmokhtar," he added.
