Tourists missing in Sahara


Eight Austrian tourists have gone missing in the Sahara desert in southern Algeria, bringing the number of foreign travellers who have disappeared in the region recently to 29. Officials in Algeria are still searching for several groups of tourists - 16 Germans (in several different groups), four Swiss and one Dutch national - who have all gone missing in the desert wilderness since mid-February.
