Algeria: Cameron confirms British hostage deaths

Описание: The Prime Minister confirms that three Britons have been killed in the Algerian hostage crisis, with a further three believed to be dead along with one UK resident.

Three British nationals have died and three more are feared dead following the Algerian hostage crisis, David Cameron said.
The Prime Minister said that a UK resident had also been killed in the four day stand-off in the desert which dramatically came to an end on Saturday.
Speaking at Chequers, he said that the priority now was to get the surviving hostages home from Algeria.
"I know the whole country will want to join with me in sending our sympathy and our condolences to the families who have undergone an absolutely dreadful ordeal," he said.

Mr Cameron went on to say the attack was a "stark reminder" of the continuing terrorist threat and vowed to use Britain's chairmanship of the G8 to ensure that it was right at the top of the international agenda.
"This is a global threat and it will require a global response. It will require a response that is about years, even decades, rather than months," he said.
