US places Egyptian terrorist groups Hasm and Lewaa Al-Thawraa on terror list
[AlAhram] The US State Department placed on Wednesday two Egyptian terrorist groups, Hasm and Lewaa al-Thawra ...The Revolution Brigade, which along with Hasm (Decisiveness or Determination) is one of the fighting arms of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, established to fight back against the overthrow of President Morsi..., on its terror list, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a statement. The US also put the head of the Paleostinian Islamist movement Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, Ismail Haniya, on its terror blacklist and has hit him with sanctions. The US government also placed sanctions on Harakat al-Sabireen, a small Iran-affiliated holy warrior group that splintered from the Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... and operates in Gazoo, according to the US Secretary of State.
The Egyptian government has linked Hasm and Lewaa al-Thawra with the Moslem Brüderbund group, which is banned and designated a terrorist organization in Egypt. Hasm and Lewaa al-Thawra have grabbed credit for several terrorist attacks in Egypt that have killed dozens of police and army personnel. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-02-01 |
