| [REUTERS] Militants in Egypt's Sinai peninsula fired rockets into southern Israel on Friday in an incident that caused no casualties but appeared to be linked to fighting between Islamist 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.... 's Egypt affiliate, Sinai Province, said in a statement posted on Twitter by supporters that it had launched three Grad rockets ...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km.... toward "occupied Paleostine". Rooters could not immediately verify the authenticity of the statement. An Israeli military source earlier said the rockets had been fired from Sinai, which borders Israel, the Gazoo Strip and the Suez Canal. Israeli police said they had so far found remnants of two rockets in an open area. No damage or casualties were reported. It was possible the launch was linked to the fighting in Sinai, the military source said, where faceless myrmidons of the Sinai Province group launched their biggest assault in years against Egyptian security forces on Wednesday. Dozens of people have been killed in the past few days of festivities and air strikes in the desert region. |
