"Mali is the first victim of Libya," says Rep. Mike Rogers

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) weighs in on the conflict in Mali and says the administration needs an 'overarching' plan for the region.

American hostages are held in Algeria and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is calling it a terrorist attack.

Algeria's interior minister says Islamists angry over Algeria's support for the French offensive in Mali attacked an oil field in southern Algeria today, killing two people and seizing a number of hostages.

The exact number of U.S. hostages is unclear - the U.S. government says perhaps as few as three American are being held.
