Algerians Raise Number of Dead Hostages to 38

Algeria is currently listing thirty-eight hostages, thirty-seven of them foreign, as having been killed either by their captors or in the attempts to rescue them.

Over seven hundred Algerians and one hundred foreigners survived the ordeal.

More hostages are still missing, and the Algerian military is searching for them.

Officials also say that they have the bodies of twenty-nine of the gas plant's attackers, including the leader.

Three more were arrested, after being captured.

It is coming out that the leader of the attack was a Canadian national, who went by the name Chedad.

Not much else is known about him, but international agencies are working to learn more.

Al Qaeda has widely bragged that the attack was an operation of theirs.
