Egyptian army foils 'major' terror attack in central Sinai, kills 14 terrorists
2018-04-15
[AlAhram] The Egyptian army said in a statement Saturday it had foiled a major terrorist attack in Central Sinai, killing 14 murderous Moslems who attempted to break into camps of the armed forces.

The incident led to eight casualties and 15 injuries among Egyptian forces, according to army spokesperson Tamer El-Refai.

"Among the 14 terrorist elements there were four wearing boom belts and they were all armed with automatic rifles, medium-calibre rifles, and RPGs," the statement read.

"They all attempted to break into camps of the Egyptian armed forces at dawn on Saturday, but their attempt was foiled," the statement added.

The incident comes amid Egypt's ongoing Operation Sinai 2018.
The Times of Israel adds:
The bandidos bully boyz blew themselves up outside the camp after they were prevented by security forces from entering, an army statement said.
Update from Ynet at 11:45 a.m. EDT:
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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group has grabbed credit for an attack on an Egyptian army base in the Sinai Peninsula that killed at least eight soldiers. The Lion of Islam group claimed Saturday's attack in a statement carried by its Aamaq news agency.
