Three other people were maimed in the kaboom. No group has yet grabbed credit for the attack, which comes only one day after Egypt's army announced that it killed the leader of Egypt’s 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.... affiliate Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis in The group, which originated in Sinai and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State holy warrior group in November, has grabbed credit for most of the attacks against security personnel and installations in the restive governorate.
