Violence linked to an uprising by Islamic fundamentalists resulted in the deaths Sunday of 11 radicals and a police lieutenant and the wounding of a member of the government’s advisory committee, police said Monday.

More than 600 people have died in clashes between Muslim militants and security forces since January, 1992, when the military seized power and canceled parliamentary elections that the fundamentalist movement was expected to win.
