Canadians in Algeria gas plant attack officially identified


OTTAWA: Canadian police on Thursday officially identified two Canadians among the militants who attacked a desert gas plant in Algeria in January.

The information came in the form of a public plea for help in determining when the former schoolmates, Xristos Katsiroubas and Ali Medlej, left Canada and who might have recruited them into the Al-Qaeda-linked group that stormed the In Amenas plant in eastern Algeria on January 16.
