Hostages 'escape Algeria captors'

Well even during 1980 SAS rescue at the Iranian Embassy which went over fairly well one hostage was killed during the assault.

Such situations are very hard to handle the only thing you can have at best is skill,speed and violence of action hopefully the assaulting force can manage to kill most of the hostiles before they can do much harm.It seems now though that any planned hostage taking will go like the Moscow theater and the school siege in Beslan a few years later.The terrorists having rigged the building and people in such a case what choice do you have? Of course the Algerian military has nothing near the experience that the Russian or Western elite forces have.
