It is assumed the terrorists who stormed the hotel and killed at least three people and took another 100 hostage are African or possibly Arab jihadists.
They reportedly shouted “Allah Akbar” before opening fire on guards.
Guests at the hotel said the terrorists freed those who could recite from the Koran.
It is not clear why terrorists in a former French colony in Africa would speak English.
Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said on Wednesday the government could not confirm “with 100 percent certainty” the death of a Croatian hostage purportedly beheaded by Sinai Province, the Egyptian offshoot of Islamic State.
He told reporters at a news conference that authorities have been trying to confirm the authenticity of a still photo being circulated on Twitter by social media accounts supportive of Sinai Province that showed a headless body.
