Blasts in Egypt's North Sinai wound police, civilians - security sources
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] At least eight coppers and civilians were maimed on Monday when kabooms hit two houses in Egypt's El-Arish, the scenic provincial capital of the North Sinai region, security and medical sources said.Militants planted two bombs in two adjacent houses, both inhabited by police, the sources said. The force of the kabooms led to the collapse of large parts of the homes, injuring three coppers and five civilians. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear. Egypt is facing a Sinai-based insurgency that has killed hundreds of coppers and soldiers since the army toppled Islamist President Mohammed Mursi after mass protests against his rule in 2013. The most active holy warrior group is Sinai Province, which has pledged allegiance to 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.... , the Sunni group that controls large parts of Iraq and Syria. Egypt executed six members of Sinai Province for carrying out an attack on soldiers near Cairo last year, their lawyer said in May. Posted by: Fred 2015-06-23 |
