| [AlAhram] Three coppers were maimed in Egypt's restive North Sinai late Friday in a drive-by shooting, Rooters' Aswat Masriya reported. Security forces said the assailants used a car they hijacked in North Sinai's Al-Arish in the attack against security personnel. AP and AFP reported that two coppers died from injuries sustained in the attack and that a third policeman was injured. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... Egyptian authorities have not yet commented on the reported incident. The Sinai-based holy warrior, Islamist group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis had claimed most attacks against army and police personnel in the past two years.
Gunmen, suspected 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's affiliate in Egypt, rubbed out two coppers in the town of El-Arish overnight Friday before fleeing in a vehicle, the officials said. They bumped off a policeman outside a school in the town and the retired officer at a market place hours later, the officials said. | |
