| CanadianÂ’s body found in Algeria |
| 2013-03-19 |
| The RCMP say Canadian remains have been found at the site of a blood-soaked January standoff in Algeria between terrorists and gas-plant workers. The news was the latest indication of possible Canadian involvement in the deadly assault. But the Mounties refused to say Monday whether there was more than one body, or whether the remains were discovered among the al-Qaida-linked attackers or the hostages killed in the incident. “The RCMP confirms that Canadian human remains have been identified in Algeria, however, as this is an ongoing investigation, no further information will be given at this time,” said Cpl. David Falls. Neither the Foreign Affairs Department nor the minister’s office would comment. However, Foreign Affairs has said previously that it believed no Canadians or dual nationals were among the hostages, and that a permanent resident of Canada who was at the site was safe and no longer in Algeria. As a result, the latest development suggests a Canadian presence among the attackers — a militant group said to have been led by North African terrorist leader Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who was also behind the 2008 kidnapping of Canadian diplomat Robert Fowler. |
