Egypt Militants Claim Responsibility for 2 Attacks
[An Nahar] An Egyptian hard boy group has grabbed credit for twin suicide kabooms that killed three people and maimed eight on Friday in the southern Sinai Peninsula.
In a statement posted Sunday on hard boy websites, al-Qaeda inspired group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis warned the Egyptian army "we will not rest until we achieve retribution for the blood and honor of the Mohammedans."
In the first attack, a jacket wallah went kaboom! in front of a bus carrying workers, killing one and wounding three. Another bomber went kaboom! at an army checkpoint, killing a soldier and a civilian passer-by and wounding five others.
The group urged the Egyptian people to "rebel against this oppressive and tyrannical regime" and not resort only to peaceful opposition movements.
