The statement said one body was recovered on Wednesday, “of an unidentified man with a gunshot wound”.The defence ministry statement said people should “not pay attention to false information that aims to sully the honourable image of the Algerian forces”.Reports from Morocco said French-Moroccan tourist Bilal Kissi, 29, and his Moroccan cousin Abdelali Mechouar, 40, were killed.

Yesterday’s statement from the defence ministry was the first official reaction from Algeria to Tuesday’s incident.
