| [Rudaw] A Nile Delta prosecutor said Sunday he referred 40 people to trial on charges of belonging to 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 and planning to carry out terrorist attacks in Egypt. The announcement marks the first time people in Egypt's Nile Delta have been accused of belonging to the group, which holds a third of Iraq and Syria in its self-declared caliphate. Bilal Abu Khadra, a prosecutor in Egypt's Sharqiya province, said that those charged communicated with Islamic State murderous Moslems in Syria. He also said the cell's leader confessed to receiving money from the snuffies to recruit and help murderous Moslems travel to Syria. Khadra said 20 of the defendants are detained, while the others will be tried in absentia. The Islamic State group gained a foothold in Egypt last November when a Sinai-based bad boy group declared itself an affiliate of the turbans. Amid the burgeoning Islamic insurgency in Egypt, thousands have been tossed in the clink ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... in the course of a sweeping crackdown on Islamists since the military's 2013 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. In the latest attack on security forces, murderous Moslems remotely detonated a bomb Sunday in the Sinai Peninsula south of the city of el-Arish, killing an army conscript and wounding two soldiers, security officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to news hounds. |
