5 foreigners still missing at Algeria hostage site

Algerian authorities searched on Tuesday for five foreigners still missing and tried to identify seven charred bodies, days after a bloody hostage crisis, a security source said.

Algerian security personnel move bodies of victims killed during the hostage crisis at a desert gas plant from trucks in In Amenas on January 21, 2012. Algerian authorities are searching for five foreigners still missing from the bloody siege, a security source says
