{"Image ImageDescription": "A freed Algerian hostage hugs a relative at Algiers airport after he was released by Islamist captors, alongside other Algerian hostages, from a gas plant in In Amenas, more than 1,600 kilometres from the capital, on January 18, 2013. More than 72 hours after the heavily armed militants staged a deadly raid on the complex, and two days after Algerian special forces launched a botched rescue bid widely condemned as hasty, there appeared to be a stand-off in the Sahara.
