Armed Islamic groups in Algeria have killed more than 60 foreigners over the last year; many had their throats slit. Foreigners were ordered to leave Algeria or face death. Altogether, more than 20,000 people have died in a savage conflict between Algeria's military rulers and Islamic fundamentalists. So far, the killing has gone largely unreported, far from the world's media. Now, however, Assignment's Phil Rees has become the first western journalist to meet the armed Islamic groups. He and his team travelled to the mountains of central Algeria, where the Islamic Salvation Army has its base.
