Three U.S. citizens were killed in last week's hostage standoff at a natural-gas complex in Algeria, while seven Americans made it out safely, Obama administration officials said Monday.

The Islamist terrorists who attacked a natural gas plant in the Sahara included two Canadians and bombmakers who had memorized the layout of the sprawling complex and were ready to blow the place sky-high, Algeria's prime minister said Monday.
