ALGIERS, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Algeria's armed forces have killed 150 Islamic rebels in their most successful attack on guerrilla hideouts since the North African country plunged into violence a decade ago, a newspaper said on Saturday.

A crackdown on the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) by the armed forces and state-armed militias started two weeks ago and is still going on in the province of Setif, 300 kms (190 miles) east of Algiers, the influential El Watan newspaper said, citing military sources.

It said several women and children including babies, believed to be members of the rebel families living in the hideouts, were found during the operation.

The newspaper said 105 rebel bodies were found burnt to ashes in caves after an intense artillery bombardment.

Officials were not available to comment on the report.

The armed forces have in recent months stepped up a campaign to eliminate what remains of the GSPC and the Armed Islamic Group, which is known for slitting the throats of its victims.

Earlier this week El Watan reported that the government offensive had killed 15 members of GSPC. Last October, military officials said the group had 400 fighters. Last month, Algeria's interior minister said only a few pockets of rebels were left.

Algeria's decade of violence began in 1992 when authorities cancelled elections that a Muslim fundamentalist party was poised to win and militants took up arms to create a purist Islamic state. Well over 100,000 people are estimated to have died.

These are the terrorists who gain refugee status in Canada and the UK.

They cite "persecution" from the Gov't.

Just the way I like my Jihadis, x-tra crispy with a dash of salt.

Algeria is a literal snake pit. Most of the violence has been directed against those deemed "not muslim enough."

Entire families are thrown down wells to perish.

Babies are left in ovens, alive, for family members to find upon coming home.

Mad Mo's Insane Murder Cult at its finest.
