Officials: Militants blow up natural gas pipeline in Sinai
[Ynet] Security officials in Egypt say suspected Islamic Death Eaters have blown up a natural gas pipeline outside el-Arish, the picturesque provincial capital of North Sinai.The officials say authorities stopped the flow of the gas to extinguish the fire after the blast, which happened early Sunday morning. No group immediately claimed the attack. However, women are made to be loved, not understood... Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, or "Champions of Jerusalem," a jihadi group based in the Sinai Peninsula, has grabbed credit for more than a dozen similar bombings and attacks on security forces. It pledged allegiance to the 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.... group late last year. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren't authorized to speak to journalists. Egypt's state news agency MENA said the pipeline supplies natural gas to a power station and homes in el-Arish. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-06-01 |
