#2 They stopped the Algerian military from going in and rescuing the hostages to begin with, if I remember correctly, for fear that the GSPC would kill the hostages. The GSPC likely wants members of their group captured by the Algerian government released and is using the tourists as leverage. I think the whole reason for denying the talks has to do with the fact that Algerians don't want to admit that their being pressured into negotiations with these barbarians.
