Foreign Secretary updates on situation in Algeria
Enter: The Rt Hon William Hague, Foreign Secretary:
As you know, the Algerian authorities have indicated to us that their military operations that have been taking place at the gas installation site have been concluded. The Algerian Prime Minister has confirmed that to our Prime Minister this afternoon. However, we understand that the site is not yet fully safe because of hazards such as booby traps and so they are still working on that .
Prime Minister David Cameron has given his reaction to the situation in Algeria
I spoke to the Algerian Prime Minister again – and he confirmed that, while the site is still dangerous and there may be explosives that will need to be dealt with, the terrorist incident has now effectively ended. One British citizen has already been killed in this brutal attack and we now fear the worst for the lives of five others who are not yet accounted for.

Alarm monitoring services ensure that your alarm system isn’t ignored. Instead of the noise only alert that standard alarms provide – which are generally ignored by neighbours and passers-by; a monitored service provides 24 hours x 7 days a week protection for homes and businesses – whether that be from burglary, fire or other emergencies.
