This week, the news has been obsessed with the terror actions that has been going on in Algeria in a week or so. A lot of Statoil workers has been taken hostage by some terrosists from Al Qaida. They where taken hostage while they where working at the gas station. The motiv for the attack, was that the terrorists wanted the authorities in the US, to release two Al Qaida leaders from the American prison. Therefore, a lot of Americans where taken. Some of the people are released, but there are still some people missing, including five Norwegians.
ABCnews says that the crisis is finally over, because the Americans is now released. For Gods sake! The crisis is not over just because your citizens are released. There are a lot of people who is still missing! I think this proves our suspicions about the Americans being selfish. Probably, they are not aware that other people are missing. Ok, that was mean, but come on. Even the President is only taking about his worries for THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. What about the rest?
CNN is a bit more objective. We can actullay read about other people, and we can read statements from the Algerian Prime minister. According to Prime minister Abdul Malek Sallal, at least 66 hostages is dead, and there are still some people missing, but the number is unkown. They also says that Algerian troops ended the hostage crisis Saturday, with one, last bloody assault. Algerian and Western officials says that after three days of chaos and confusion left dozens dead and fanned fears of a new terror front in Africa.
Just for the record, there are still five Norwegians missing, but it seems like the crisis is over.
Have good day our beloved readers <3
