Two Sinai IS fighters killed in battle with Egyptian forces
[IsraelTimes] Two 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.... fighters were killed in the northern Sinai overnight Thursday, according to reports. The men were killed in a firefight with Egyptian security forces operating in the Rafah area, near Egypt’s border with Gazoo, Israel Radio reported. According to the London-based Arabic daily al-Hayat, the growing frequency of jihadist attacks in Sinai is caused by the return of Egyptian fighters who had gone to Syria and Libya to fight in the ranks of the Islamic State’s forces there.
