JAPAN'S prime minister says seven Japanese people are now known to have been killed in the Algerian hostage crisis, the first confirmation from Tokyo that any of its nationals died.
"I was informed by vice-foreign minister (Minoru) Kiuchi that as a result of identifications of bodies at a hospital in In Amenas, seven were confirmed to be Japanese employees of JGC," Shinzo Abe told his ministers on Monday.
The Japanese firm had earlier said it did not know the fate of 17 of its employees, 10 of whom were Japanese.
The prime minister said so far it had not been possible to confirm what had happened to the other Japanese nationals who remain unaccounted for.
"There are still three more Japanese people whose safety has not been confirmed. I want all of you to do everything possible to continue gathering information and confirm their fate," he told his ministers.
"Japanese people who work at the world's frontiers, the innocent people were victimised. It is extremely painful," Abe said.
A witness at the desert gas plant told AFP he was aware of nine Japanese deaths over the extended siege, which began on Wednesday and ended in a bloodbath on Saturday when the Algerian military moved in.
