Algerian government forces attacked the BP gas plant hostage situation and killed Islamists and hostages indiscriminantly. I cannot defend that. Maybe one American hostage (from Texas) was killed in the govt. attack, according to early reports. In one attack, the Algerian forces blew up and shot at vehicles with the Islamists trying to move many hostages to another building at the plant. One hostage survivor said that heads and body parts were strewn about the seen in the aftermath. He said that the government troops killed Islamists and hostages alike.
