Desert search for missing gas plant workers

ALGERIAN forces are scouring the Sahara for five missing foreigners following the Algerian gas plant terrorist attack.

Algerian officials say they may have tried to escape into the Sahara desert and got lost. It is not known whether any of them were British.

The hostage crisis at the In Amenas facility left 37 foreigners of eight nationalities, including two Scots, dead.
