[AlAhram] Egyptian police juggedDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! a number of people who confessed to "plotting terrorist attacks against security forces and government figures," most notably the liquidation of top prosecutor Hisham Barakat in June 2015, the interior ministry announced on Friday. The ministry said that some of those arrested grabbed credit for Barakat’s murder as well as an liquidation attempt against Egypt's former leading Moslem holy man Ali Gomaa in August. In a statement on its official Facebook page, the ministry said that its intelligence work has revealed that the Moslem Brüderbund is forming new "terrorist entities" such as Haraket Thowar Misr, Hasm and Lowaa El-Thawra, and uses these groups "as a media front" to take the blame for the Brotherhood’s violent attacks. The interior minister previously accused the leaders of the Moslem Brüderbund in exile in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and the group's Paleostinian offshoot Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, as being behind the liquidation of Barakat. "Security forces have also seized arms and explosives and located hiding places used for Death Eater training, storing supplies and manufacturing bombs," the statement said. Egypt’s then-top prosecutor Barakat died in a Cairo kaboom in June 2015; the only successful liquidation attempt against a state official since an upswing in Death Eater violence following the 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi. One of the little-known new Death Eater groups, Hasm, had previously claimed responsibly for the aforementioned attacks. The Moslem Brüderbund was officially designated a terrorist organization by the government in December 2013 following several deadly attacks on security personnel. Attacks against Egypt's security forces have become common in recent years but are mostly concentrated in North Sinai, where Egypt's army and police are battling an entrenched Islamist insurgency.
There was no immediate comment from either organization, or from the outlawed Moslem Brüderbund, which says it is a peaceful movement and accuses the government of abuses. Car bomb targets Cairo judge unsuccessfully [AlAhram] A boom-mobile went kaboom!in Cairo on Friday unsuccessfully targeting a judge who is trying a case against supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi, a security source told Ahram Online. The incident took place in the district of Nasr City and was aimed at judge Ahmed El-Fotouh, according to the source. Another security source told Ahram's Arabic website that there were no casualties. Explosives experts were dispatched to the scene to investigate the incident. The prosecutor-general has ordered the opening of an investigation into the incident, and a team from the prosecution is on the scene to examine evidence.
"The Hasam Movement's central bombing squad targeted the regime's dog and one of hell's judges Ahmed Aboul Fotouh using a car bomb near his house," the group said in a statement. "To every unjust judge you still have a chance to think it through and leave this dirty swamp that is unfairly referred to as the judiciary." | ||
