Algerian army kills 150 Islamic rebels - report

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.

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) - The Algerian army killed 150 armed Islamic militants in a two-week operation in the eastern foothills of this north African country, news reports said Saturday.

The charred bodies of 105 suspected rebels were found in caves near the Babor mountains, about 180 miles east of Algiers, the El Watan daily reported. It did not specify its sources and did not account for the remaining 45 bodies.

The Arabic language newspaper El Youm reported that about 20 suspected militants and some 25 women remained holed up in the caves as the operation continued. The militants had come to the remote rugged region for a meeting, it said.

El Watan also reported five women and eight children were freed late Wednesday and early Thursday. One of the women reportedly said the militants were running out of food, water and munitions.

Algeria's Islamic radicals frequently kidnap women. The captives are often kept as sex slaves and are often killed.

The Defense Ministry declined to comment to The Associated Press and the government-run news service, APS did not mention the operation.

The military-backed government is trying to root out an Islamic insurgency that started in the early 1990s. Officials offered rebels partial amnesty if they turned in their guns, and those who did not surrender have faced an army crackdown.

About 120,000 people have died in the insurgency. The violence erupted in 1992 when the army canceled legislative elections that a fundamentalist party was poised to win.

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

Good news. Kill them all.

[DooDahhhh]

Yep...you are right on on this one. The first thought I had when I saw the two planes hit the towers was that their mothers were to blame.. A gemeration of suicidal folks don't just happen..they have to be raised or brainwashed from birth to have such a passion.

That's a heck of a lot dead Muslims. How come the UN, Al Qaeda and the left isn't screaming and marching in protest. Where are the Rachel Corrie types? THe ISM types?

Most of those were innocents, butchered in fantastically barbarous fashion by Salafists.

[siwrcw03]

Ofcourse they were.

I think there was a good reason why the military didn't want Islamic fundamentalists to win government control.

[oldironsides]

Entire villages of people in Algeria were beheaded by these roaming Islamic men. Christians were the object of the hatred and murder. The UN did nothing.

"Tis an ill wind that blows nobody any good"

Often attributed to Shakespeare ('Tis an ill wind that blows no man to good - Henry IV, Part 2: Act V Scene 3), it's acknowledged Shakespeare was quoting an already well-known proverb. Just a little trivia :)

Our guys involved?

[AngrySpud]

"Our guys involved?"

If not our guys, certainly our munitions. Can you imagine what it took to incinerate 105 Islamists, in a cave? Unless they were in a cave full of flammables (not likely), these guys were hit with a ground-penetrating MOAB. :)

[contessa machiaveli]

my thoughts exactly, this brutality has been going on for years and never once did i hear a peep from their islamic brethren or the UN. i suppose it's OK when muslims murder.

[dennisw]

The Arabs don't care, the Muslims don't care, the UN, the Euros, the 3rd world don't care when Algerian Muslims kill each other en masse.

They care only when Jews (Israel) kills Muslims that have killed Jews. Just look at the whining for Hamas murderers when Israel offs them with a missile attack.

"Algeria's Islamic radicals frequently kidnap women. The captives are often kept as sex slaves and are often killed."

Anybody think these thugs are not satanists???

BTW, maybe President Bush would like to ask Algeria's armed forces for help in exterminating the rest of these vermin.

[dennisw]

Some of these Muslim Jihadis could teach Satan one or two things.

Just another chapter in the black history of Mad Mo's Insane Murder Cult.

[frontdeboeuf]

Their main mollah had declared the totality of the Algerian people to be Kaffirs, or infidels ans had ALL to be KILLED.

This is the kind of people that the Saudi Wahabites finance
worldwide, along with the Aryan Brotherhood(because of
their anti-semitism) to Louis Farrakhan band of Assassins.

On the other had, given the behavior of same Algerian
people at "liberation" (a million people where raped,
tortured and chopped to death), one has a hard time
feeling sorry for the Algerians.

For those with a strong stomach, see here what will
happen to the Jews when they finally surrender (the
way they behave, a very near eventuality) to the
muslims...
