Algeria confirms Japanese hostages killed
10 missing as Tokyo, JGC try to verify reports of bloody outcome
Japan Times | Monday, Jan. 21, 2013
An unknown number of Japanese taken hostage at a natural gas complex in Algeria were killed or are missing, the Algerian government told Tokyo early Sunday after eliminating the hostage takers, a militant Islamic group.
Meanwhile, French public radio reported Sunday that an Algerian employee at JGC said he witnessed the militants killing nine Japanese employees at the complex on Wednesday --- the day the crisis started.
Reacting to word from the government, JGC Corp. spokesman Takeshi Endo said Sunday that "we are now facing a severe situation" ...
...Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called his Algerian counterpart Abdelmalek Sellal and asked him to "cooperate" in finding the missing Japanese...
..."We have faced a severe report" about the fate of Japanese workers, Abe told reporters later the same day.
The complex was jointly run by BP, Norway's Statoil and Algeria's state-owned oil company. JGC was hired to build some of the facilities at the complex.

Isn't it time for a "final solution" to the Islamic problem?

I couldn't help but laugh at the Japanese reporting on this...X number of Japanese and Y number of "gaikokujin" at the plant.

Then there's this shit:

Suga also said the Japanese government had not yet obtained photos or other items that could be used to confirm the deaths of Japanese hostages, stressing that Tokyo needs to independently verify the Algerian government's findings.

Suuure, independently verify every We Japanese death abroad but when foreigners die in your cuntry....

Meanwhile... in Fukushima...

“Even if a method works overseas, the soil in Japan is different, for example,” said Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director at the environment ministry, who is in charge of the Fukushima cleanup. “And if we have foreigners roaming around Fukushima, they might scare the old grandmas and granddads there.”

Nice try but that joke doesn't work when it's a real news story. Islamic terrorists executing hostages is a real news story.

[Coligny]

Because you miss the point...

You barely hear anymore about the giant global clusterfuck that fuckushima still is after 2 years while they are in a posturing context for who could look the most outraged after death of few dozen hostages... which according to fuckushima math is nothing since it's much less than people killed by rampaging zombie mutant coal fired powerplants...

And while its a news story... it's also way too empowering for the terrurist to have it spun like this into a 24h coverage for a week. Exactly the same as 911. If instead of going on to fuck the whole middle east the us just mourned their dead and rebuild these fuckin towers already alquaeda would be over. Instead of empowering the "blow shit, get on TV" mantra.

When i was a kid up to 1995 Paris was blowing up quite repeatedly. I was living near a train station of the RER B-line and in the 90' nearly all Parisian stops where blown up. We didn't go to randomly murder Saddam Hussein or some other couscous cemetry because of that... Hell, in december 94 we even got a plane hijacked from Algerian that terrurists wanted to crash on Paris... Went as far as Marseille... landed... and never flew again...

Yeah, the French have an excellent record of dealing with threats. They smartly ignore minor nuisances like Hitler and the Ayatolla Khomeini while focusing on the real bad guys: Greenpeace.

"Nearly all" = three or four? I thought Paris had a few more stations than that though.

station in paris for the B line....

not the whole transit system...

"Yeah, the French have an excellent record of dealing with threats. They smartly ignore minor nuisances like Hitler and the Ayatolla Khomeini while focusing on the real bad guys: Greenpeace." You obviously don't know shit about French military history, they lost an entire generation in the First World War, bled white at Verdun, they didn't even have the manpower to hold the Maginot Line but fought almost to the death and even after the capitulation their women had the balls to slit nazi throats and their kids were planting bombs in cafe's and assasinating Gestapo pigs, and no I'm not French or a European citizen for that matter, just a former USN Corpsman who was in Afghanistan and remember the French Foreign Legion for what they were, tough SOB's, since Obummer has taken over they have become the first responders to each new crisis, if my health was better I would join the FFL in a heartbeat.

You saw the news on tv with old lady who lost everything in the 3/11 tsunami, then her son in Algeria? Terribly sad, but it smacked of the perfect Japanese victimhood closed loop. This has already got more j-media coverage than TEPCO.

[Coligny]

I missed that... by not watching TV...

If we wuz in Soviet Russia I would call bull on the veracity of this story... Since we are in Japan... I will instead just wonder if they didn't send him there and kill him on purpose to create the news as diversion for something...

Soul-searching as Japan mourns Algeria hostage terror toll

There was blanket media coverage of the news that at least seven Japanese nationals had been killed in the Algerian hostage crisis, with the respected business daily Nikkei describing Japan's anger as "overwhelming".

Three other Japanese remained unaccounted for, after heavily armed Islamist gunmen overran the desert gas complex for four days before most were killed by Algerian security forces. At least 37 foreign hostages died in all.

A government plane was to leave Japan later bound for Algeria. It was expected to return on Thursday with survivors and the bodies of those killed, all of whom were employees or contractors for Japanese engineering firm JGC.

"We lost many capable employees. I cannot find the right words," JGC spokesman Takeshi Endo said as he choked back sobs.

"It's just unbearable."

The personal stories of the victims have stoked the sense of outrage in Japan...

I read somewhere that they found an arm in the gator's belly, so I suppose they could identify her by her finger prints?

I have to wonder if, in light of this news, they are going to have to make emergency edits to the new movie "Whenever I come home, my wife always pretends she died" (no, really).
