Despite reports of terrorist activity near the Algerian gas plant, the owners were ‘doing all the right things to protect the facility’
Terrorists increasingly threatened and attacked oil assets and government facilities in the politically volatile countries of north Africa in the years before a terrorist siege at an Algerian gas plant in which British hostages were killed, an inquest has heard.
Six Britons and a UK-based Colombian were among 40 hostages killed by al-Qaida-linked Islamist terrorists during a four-day stand-off in January 2013 at the In Amenas complex.
