An Algerian army operation launched to rescue national and foreign hostages seized by Islamist gunmen at a desert gas plant, which reportedly left dozens dead, is now over, Algerian media have announced. The APS news agency said the assault on the Tigentourine gas complex, attacked by Islamist gunmen a day earlier, had ended on Thursday evening, adding that no death toll had been given so far. Communication Minister Mohamed Said confirmed earlier that kidnappers and hostages were killed in the operation, but declined to say how many. Source: AFP
