| ISIS says it destroyed Egyptian ship with rocket |
| 2015-07-18 |
| CAIRO -- The Islamic State's affiliate in Egypt's Sinai says it has destroyed an Egyptian navy vessel with a rocket off the strategic peninsula's Mediterranean coast. The claim of responsibility by the Sinai Province of the Islamic State, as the group calls itself, was made in a brief statement posted on Twitter accounts known to be linked to the group. The authenticity of the statement could not be immediately verified, but it was accompanied by photos purporting to show what appears to be a rocket flying toward the vessel, a large explosion engulfing most of the boat and then black smoke rising up from the vessel. Egypt's military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Samir, said in a statement earlier that the vessel caught fire in an exchange of gunshots on Thursday with "terrorists" on the shore. |

| #1 This crap, the crap in Iraq, Boko Haram, and the crap in Somalia isn't going to end until a few cities receive multiple ARCLIGHT strikes. Otherwise both the Muddled East and North America are going to have a few glassy craters. |
