(BRUSSELS) - The European Union on Wednesday condemned the "barbaric murder" of a French hostage in Algeria and said no effort must be spared to hold the perpetrators accountable.
It said the killing of Herve Gourdel was "a further demonstration of the determination of groups affiliated to ISIL to pursue and extend their terror strategy", referring to the Islamic State group.
