| [Ynet] Egypt's chief prosecutor charged 20 suspected hard boyz Saturday with carrying terrorist attacks that killed seven people and maimed more than 100, amid new festivities between soldiers and bully boyz in the restive Sinai Peninsula. The statement released by Hisham Barakat's office said those charged belonged to a terror group called Ajnad Misr, which started its attacks after the July ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. The group's name means "Soldiers of Egypt" in Arabic. The statement said the suspected hard boyz planted explosives around cop shoppes and security checkpoints. It said 14 suspected members are in jug and six others are on the run. Ajnad Misr has grabbed credit for a number of attacks since November, including kabooms that took place outside a presidential palace. Meanwhile Saturday, soldiers killed 12 suspected hard boyz and tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Mahmoud! 11 others in the northern Sinai, according to a statement on the official Facebook page of military front man Brig. Gen. Mohammed Samir. During festivities, krazed killer-fired rockets struck civilian homes in the town of Sheikh Zuwayed, killing seven people, including four children, and wounding 14, security officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief news hounds. Assaults mainly targeting security forces have spiked in the restive Sinai Peninsula and elsewhere since Morsi's ouster. The government designated Morsi's Moslem Brüderbund a terrorist group, blaming them and their Islamist allies of orchestrating the violence to destabilize the country. The Brotherhood has denied using violence. The military has responded with a wide-scale offensive to quash the insurgency. |
