Algeria deplores foreign media agitation on last January’s tiguentourine terrorist attack

Spokesperson for Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amar Belani said that Algeria deplored on Thursday the “tendentious agitation” of some foreign Medias on the anniversary of the coward terrorist attack against Tiguentourine’s gas plant (In Amenas). “We deplore the tendentious agitation of some foreign Medias on the anniversary of the coward terrorist attack against Tiguentourine’s gas plant,” Belani told APS in a statement.“We strongly reject the distorted presentations and absurd allegations made by these Medias which, reflect prejudice, exonerate the authors of this horrible terrorist attack and make a gang of criminals, lawless, potential interlocutors with whom there could be negotiation,” he argued.He recalled that the intervention carried out by Algeria’s security forces “was necessary to save hundreds of human lives and to protect a strategic site which terrorists planned to blow up.”This “decisive” action was marked by the professionalism and meets the urgent need to reserve our country’s sovereignty and integrity, which will, in no way, be hostage of evil forces and destruction,” he explained.“Today, we can only ask ourselves about the intentions of those who want to hide the fact that the responsibility for the deaths, which we unfortunately had to deplore, is entirely that of the terrorists and spread the doubt on the success of a one of the most complex military operation which was unanimously recognized by the international community as the most appropriate response to a real war act cowardly committed against a State and a people which will remain intransigent in the face of terrorism,” Belani added.
