Britain confirms Algeria hostage killing
(01-17 11:03)
Britain's foreign minister confirmed the death of a Briton in an attack by hostage-takers on an Algerian gas field, but said any link to the Mali crisis was an excuse for “cold-blooded murder.’’
“While sadly I can confirm the death of one British national, I can't confirm at this point the exact number of hostages held,'' Foreign Secretary William Hague said during a visit to Sydney.
