Egyptian authorities identify Tanta cathedral suicide bomber
[AlAhram] Egypt’s Ministry of Interior identified in a statement on Thursday Mamdouh Mohammed Baghdadi as the jacket wallah responsible for Sunday’s attack on Tanta’s Mar Girgis Cathedral that killed 29 people.

The ministry said that Baghdadi, who is from Upper Egypt’s Qena, was identified using CCTV footage and DNA testing.

Baghdadi was a member of a terrorist cell led by a runaway bully boy named Amr Saad Abbas, who also trained the suicide bomber who attacked Alexandria’s St. Mark’s Cathedral on the same day of the Tanta bombing, according to the statement.

The ministry said that Abbas also orchestrated the December bombing of Cairo's St Peter and St Paul's Church, which killed 29 worshipers, mostly women and kiddies.

The ministry also raised a reward from EGP 100,000 to EGP 500,000 for information on 19 individuals it identified a day earlier who are suspected of involvement in the two church bombings.

The ministry’s statement added that Baghdadi was also involved in an attack in January on a police checkpoint in the New Valley that killed eight coppers.

At the time, authorities attributed the New Valley attack to 12 forces of Evil from Sinai-based bully boy group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis.

The interior ministry’s Thursday statement also said that three people involved in terrorism-related crimes have been jugged
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
in Qena, without elaborating.

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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
bully boy group has grabbed credit for the suicide kabooms of the Alexandria and Tanta churches, which killed 46 people and injured dozens more.
Update from The Times of Israel at 11:15 a.m. EDT:
“DNA tests carried out on the family of a runaway member and the remains of the jacket wallah... made it possible to identify him as Mamduh Amin Mohammed Baghdadi, born in 1977 in Qena province, where he lived," it said.

The ministry said he was a member of a "terrorist" cell, and also announced the arrest of three other members of the group.
