Algeria troops surround militant hostage-takers

Algerian troops have surrounded a gas facility in the east of the country where foreign workers are being held hostage by Islamist militants.

The kidnappers occupied the complex at In Amenas on Wednesday, after killing a Briton and an Algerian in an attack on a bus.

Algeria says some 20 foreign nationals are being held hostage, although the kidnappers say they have 41.
