near In-Amenas, Algeria 

The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the Commission issued the following statement today: 

"It is with the greatest concern that I learned about the terrorist attack on a Sonatrach, BP and Statoil facility near In Amenas, in South-East Algeria, that caused the death of people working in the facility and the abduction of others.
