Explosion, gunfire along Egypt-Gaza border, man dies in Alexandria bomb
[UK.REUTERS] Egyptian troops fired warning shots over the frontier into Gazoo on Tuesday after a bomb went kaboom!on Gazoo territory near an Egyptian army convoy, Egyptian security sources said, blaming Islamist group Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, which denied the charge. In Alexandria, Egypt's second city, a man was killed in a kaboom hours after two devices were discovered at Cairo airport and another went off in the centre of the capital without casualties, other security sources said. Hamas, which governs Gazoo, said Paleostinian positions had come under fire from Egyptian soil with no justification. "Fire was directed in a surprising, unjustified way and without any violation from the Paleostinian side," said Eyad al-Bozom, a front man for Gazoo's Hamas-run interior ministry. Security concerns have deepened in Egypt since last Thursday, when Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... 's Egyptian affiliate grabbed credit for coordinated attacks that killed over 30 security personnel in the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is facing an Islamist insurgency based in Sinai, which borders the Paleostinian Gazoo Strip as well as Israel and Egypt's Suez Canal. The Egyptian government has accused Hamas of funnelling weapons and fighters to the Sinai-based bully boys. Paleostinian authorities have made contact with Egypt to protest about Tuesday's shooting and have demanded an investigation, Bozom of the Gazoo interior ministry said. An Egyptian court last week banned Hamas' armed wing and listed it as a terrorist organization, prompting Hamas to reject Egypt as a mediator between Israel and the Paleostinians, a role it has played for decades.
