Algeria hostage crisis: latest developments

The Prime Minister added that three more were feared dead after the four-day stand-off in the desert. A UK resident is also believed to have been killed.

As Algerian forces continued dismantling the mines and explosives left by the militants who booby-trapped the sprawling BP gas plant at In Amenas, the Algerian authorities warned that the provisional death toll of 23 hostages was likely to rise.

All 32 militants involved in the attack were reported to have been killed - some of them after reportedly "executing" their foreign captives as Algerian special forces mounted their "final assault" yesterday to take back the facility.

Mr Cameron said 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.
