White House spokesman Jay Carney said US citizens are likely among the hostages in Algeria, and the United States is “seeking clarity” from the Algerian government about the situation.
“Unfortunately the best information we have at this time indicates that US citizens are among the hostages, but we don’t have at this point more details to provide to you,” Carney said. “We’re certainly concerned about reports of loss of life, and are seeking clarity from the government of Algeria.”
Asked whether the US has discussed playing a role in rescuing hostages in Algeria, Carney said he didn’t have any information on the point.
“This is an ongoing situation and we’re seeking clarity,” he said.
The Drone asset Squadrons are too swamped with workloads monitoring Americans in Miami, Dallas, Grants Pass, and keeping hellfire crosshairs on NRA staffers, Joe Arpaio, and anyone who runs a red light on the cross-streets on the way to Sidwell Friends.
