| 2015-09-21 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Unidentified assailants bumped off an Egyptian police general on the street in the Sinai Peninsula stronghold of the ISIS group late on Saturday, the interior ministry said. General Ahmed Abdel Satar was the second senior police officer in three days to be killed in the North Sinai historic provincial capital El-Arish. On Wednesday evening, assailants killed General Khaled Kamal Osman as he inspected a police unit in a drive-by shooting claimed by the bully boys' Egyptian affiliate ISIS Sinai Province. The security forces have struggled to suppress an insurgency in the peninsula since the army overthrew Islamist president Mohammad Mursi in 2013. Cairo says Lions of Islam have killed hundreds of police and soldiers, many in attacks claimed by ISIS. |
