據(jù)悉，阿爾及利亞軍隊解救在氣田被伊斯蘭武裝分子綁架外國人的行動已告結(jié)束。阿爾及利亞當局聲稱人質(zhì)和部分武裝分子已被殺害，報道稱目前仍在搜查氣田。至少4名外國人質(zhì)獲釋，600名阿爾及利亞工人也已安全。 Sebastian Usher報道。

The Algerian Communication Minister broke his government silence with the concession that its military operation has led to foreign hostages being killed or wounded but give no figures. He said his country was forced to act when the militants refused to negotiate. It's still unclear how many hostages may have died or made it to safety. Nationals from several countries are among the hostages. The British Prime Minister David Cameron has said he wasn't made aware of the military operation before it happened, and would have preferred to have been informed beforehand.

阿 爾及利亞交通部長一改政府沉默的做法，承認其軍事行動導致外國人質(zhì)被殺或受傷，但并未給出具體數(shù)字。他說由于武裝分子拒絕協(xié)商，政府被迫采取行動。尚不清 楚多少人質(zhì)被殺或業(yè)已安全。人質(zhì)中還有幾個國家的公民。英國首相戴維·卡梅隆稱自己在軍事行動之前并不知曉，他認為應該提前得到消息。

One of the hostages who's made it to safety is Stephen McFaul. He's 36 and from Belfast within Algerian on his Irish passport. His mother Marie says she won't let him work in Algerian again. "I'm delighted, I just can't describe how happy I am. I didn't think we'd have got this so soon, you know, we always hope. Look at the eyes we had it. So we're just so happy he is coming back to us, will not let him to go back again. Look at we all sat and next going to talk to him and be more tears in talk, I'm sure."
