Description | At least 11 armed Islamic extremists were killed by government troops in an offensive against the insurgents in northeastern Kabylie province. The 11 were part of a group of around 100 radical Islamic fundamentalists who have been surrounded by the army near Bouira. Newspapers reported Wednesday that the insurgents belong to the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) and that they were preparing to hold a conference, chaired by GSPC leader Hassan Hattab, in the Haizer hills. |
