Egypt Brands Jihadist IS a 'Terrorist Group'
2014-12-01
[AnNahar] An Egyptian court on Sunday branded 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....
jihadist group operating in Iraq and Syria a "terrorist" organization, the official news agency MENA reported.

An Egyptian bully boy group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which pledged allegiance to IS earlier in November, has itself also been designated a terrorist organization under a similar ruling.

Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, based in the restive Sinai Peninsula, has killed scores of police and soldiers since the army ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in July last year.

MENA said the IS ruling followed a suit filed by a lawyer.
