Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has claimed responsibility for Friday's rocket-propelled grenade attack on an Algerian gas plant operated by Norway's Statoil and BP.
The attack caused no casualties or damage but forced the facility to be closed as a precaution.
"This
operation has destroyed your claims to have defeated 'terrorism' as you
like to describe it. Even if your Western masters believed you were in
control previously, how will you justify your position now?" the
Islamist militant group said in a statement directed at the Algerian
government and Western oil companies.
