| [AnNahar] A roadside kaboom claimed by 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group killed three Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai Peninsula on Monday, medical and security officials said. The blast struck on the Egyptian side of the divided city of Rafah on the Gazoo border, the official said. "An officer and two soldiers were killed and another soldier maimed when their armored vehicle hit a bomb in the Tawil al-Amir district," the security official told AFP. Jihadists who have pledged allegiance to IS, which controls swathes of Iraq and Syria, said they carried out the attack. "We blew up an armored vehicle of the apostate army and everyone inside was killed," IS Sinai Province said on its Twitter account. Formerly known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, the group has carried out repeated deadly attacks on the security forces in its peninsula stronghold. Twin kabooms claimed by the group on April 12 killed at least 14 people, 11 of them security personnel. On April 2, the group launched simultaneous attacks on five checkpoints in the region that killed 15 soldiers and two civilians. The authorities say more than 500 troops and police have been killed since Morsi's overthrow, most of them in North Sinai province. The attacks have come despite stringent security measures imposed by the army in the province, including a night-time curfew and the creation of a buffer zone along the Gazoo border to prevent Lions of Islam infiltrating from the Paleostinian territory.
