Algeria, Sep 25 (IBNS): A French tourist was abducted in Algeria by a terrorist group aligned with the Islamic State on Sunday, media reports said.

Herve Gourdel, a 55-year-old mountaineering guide from Nice, was visiting Algeria to go hiking in its northern mountains and had arrived only the day before.

He was held captive by the terrorist group known as Jund al-Khilafah and was seen beheaded in a video circulated on Wednesday, according to SITE Intelligence that keeps a track on jihadi groups, reports said.
