US President Barack Obama blamed the deaths of hostages killed in Algeria on the “terrorists” who carried out the attack, noting Saturday that the attack was a reminder of Al-Qaeda’s continued threat.
“In the coming days, we will remain in close touch with the government of Algeria to gain a fuller understanding of what took place so that we can work together to prevent tragedies like this,” he added in a statement.
