In Amenas hostage crisis

The In Amenas hostage crisis began on 16 January 2013, when al-Qaeda-linked terrorists affiliated with a brigade led by Mokhtar Belmokhtar took expat hostages at the Tigantourine gas facility near In Amenas, Algeria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amenas Hostage Crisis: Oil Workers 'Killed' in Algeria Air Strikes )〕 One of Belmokhtar's senior lieutenants, Abdul al Nigeri, led the attack〔(Nigerien jihadist identified as commander of Algerian hostage operation )〕 and was among the terrorists killed.〔(Algeria hostage crisis over after further casualties )〕 After four days, the Algerian special forces raided the site, in an effort to free the hostages.
At least 39 foreign hostages were killed along with an Algerian security guard, as were 29 militants. A total of 685 Algerian workers and 107 foreigners were freed. Three militants were captured.〔
It was one of many attacks in the Maghreb carried out by Islamist groups since 2002.
==Attack==
The best information about the attack comes from the transcript of the eye witness evidence given to HM Coroner in London: see (the transcript of the evidence ). Tigantourine gas facility is located about south-west of In Amenas, close to the Libyan border and about south-east of Algeria's capital city, Algiers. The Algerian state oil company Sonatrach operates the gas field jointly with the British firm BP and the Norwegian firm Statoil. It supplies 10% of Algeria's natural gas production.
The crisis began in the early morning of 16 January 2013. Around 32 Islamist terrorists in 4 to 5 vehicles, who had entered Algeria from Libya and northern Mali, attacked a bus transporting employees from a natural gas plant near the town of In Amenas in far eastern Algeria, about west of the border with Libya, killing a number of the employees.〔 At 5:40 AM, militant gunmen in Toyota Land Cruisers stormed the Base de Vie (accommodation block). The terrorists also attacked the Central Processing facility itself.〔 The terrorists rigged the plant with explosives, and threatened a "tragic end" should attempts be made to free the captives.
As the assault began on a bus carrying expats, a guard named Mohamed Lamine Lahmar succeeded in activating a plant-wide alarm, warning the whole site that a terrorist attack was in progress. Lahmar's actions made it possible for some people to hide and for others to shut down essential processes of the site and possibly prevent its destruction from explosives detonation. Lahmar was shot to death by the terrorists immediately afterward.〔(Security Guard stopped massive explosion ). ''The Daily Telegraph''. Retrieved 24 January 2013.〕 In addition, a Briton was also killed and at least seven others were injured during the initial capture of hostages and assault on the plant.〔〔
For a number of hours, the gunmen hunted door-to-door for foreigners. They dragged people from their hiding places, beating some who did not cooperate, and shooting others as they tried to run away.〔 Some foreigners had their hands bound behind their backs, and some had their mouths taped.〔 The gunmen affixed bombs to some of the captives.〔 Some foreigners were helped by local Algerians, who helped them hide.〔
Subsequently, Algerian security forces surrounded the facility. At midday local time on 17 January the terrorists at Base de Vie decided to drive to meet those in the CPF. They loaded hostages into 6 vehicles and drove out onto the road. During the 3 km journey they were attacked by the Algerian military and all 6 vehicles were stopped. 4 were blown up and 2 were riddled with bullets. See the transcript of evidence at the London Inquest. A few hostages managed to escape, including some Britons who helped other hostages.
On 18 January in the afternoon the terrorists exploded a bomb at the CPF murdering some hostages and the military attacked the CPF bringing the siege to an end.
