Inquest reveals government knew in late 2012 that terrorists were seeking information on British workers in Algeria
The government delayed telling BP about reports of terrorists seeking to kidnap foreigners shortly before seven British hostages were killed in a jihadi attack on an Algerian gas plant, an inquest has been told.
In an interim judgment, Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC has ruled that the Foreign Office can withhold sensitive, national security material relating to the January 2013 attack on the In Amenas site in the Sahara desert.
