Sahara hostage crisis 2003
The 2003 Sahara hostage crisis concerns the events surrounding the abduction of 32 European tourists in even separate groups in the Algerian Sahara desert in 2003. They were released in two groups: one in Algeria and the other from neighbouring Mali, several months later.
==Kidnap==
Between February 19 and early April 2003 seven independently mobile parties of European tourists in 4WDs and on motorcycles - 16 Germans, 10 Austrians, 4 Swiss, a Dutchman and a Swede – went missing in the UNESCO-listed Tassili N'Ajjer region of southeast Algeria, most while travelling along the popular 470-km 'Graveyard Piste' between Bordj Omar Driss and Illizi. On 13 April Algerian military sources announced the tourists had been kidnapped but were still alive, but the identity of kidnappers and their demands were not known. The 32 tourists had been divided into two groups.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=News )〕 A 1200-strong force of Algerian army and police continued to comb the area using camels, road blocks and helicopters, assisted by a team of specialist officers from German anti-terrorist police. One of the Swiss tourists had called relatives on their satellite phone just after his disappearance, but was cut off in mid-sentence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=‘Despair over fate of Sahara tourists’, The Daily Telegraph, 20 Apr 03 )〕 Many commentators remained perplexed as to how preparations for such an large scale abduction could pass unnoticed in an area where mobility is limited to one highway and a few pistes and valleys frequented by nomads and other locals.
