Islamic State car bomb kills 4 tribesmen in Egypt's Sinai
[KANSAS] An 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....
jacket wallah attacked a tribal checkpoint in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Tuesday, killing four members of a powerful local tribe and wounding others, Egyptian security officials said.

They say the attacker, driving a car filled with explosives, struck a checkpoint near the town of Rafah that was manned by members of the Tarabeen tribe. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief news hounds.

Egyptian forces have been battling a growing insurgency in the northern Sinai for years, with local tribes mostly remaining on the sidelines.

The tribes have long resented the heavy-handed security crackdown in the region and relations with the Cairo government have been poor. Civilians in northern Sinai have had to endure violence as well as prolonged military curfews and diminished services. The rustics also fear the wrath of the murderous Moslems, who frequently kill alleged informants.

Clashes erupted last week between the forces of Evil and local tribes after IS fighters shot at a truck smuggling cigarettes into an area where the gunnies have banned tobacco. Earlier this month, forces of Evil kidnapped the head of another powerful tribe, El-Fawakhriya, and a prominent businessman from the tribe.
