Egypt arrests seven Al-Q 'affiliates' responsible for Al-Husain attacks
2009-05-24
Egyptian security services captured Al-Qaeda affiliates responsible for the Al-Husain attacks back on February 22 where a French woman was killed and 24 people were injured, the official news agency said on Saturday.
I imagine that by now they're not feeling so well ...
Seven members of the group named "Islam's Army in Palestine" were carrying explosives and ammunitions at the time they were incarcerated, Middle East News Agency (MENA) quoted a security official as saying. The group is run by two Egyptian escapees who assigned members to sneak into the Gaza Strip through tunnels and receive training on making explosives

So a couple of Egyptian jailbirds gather together some equally successful comrades to cause trouble in Egypt. They sneak into Gaza to go to terrorist college, where for a set fee working materials are included. The Egyptian jailbirds are so pathetic they get caught trying to sneak back home... and they call themselves "Islam's Army in Palestine". Honestly, you just can't make this stuff up!
One of the detainees claimed the group's responsibility for Al-Husain bombings, the source said, adding that weapons and ammunitions were delivered through two women, an Egyptian and an Albanian with a French passport, the source said.
Cherchez la femme...
A Tunisian carrying a Belgium passport was assigned to travel to Belgium and then to France and meet up with other members to carry a terrorist attack there, it said. The group was assigned to target oil pipelines and resorts in Sinai, it said, and noted that the authorities detained two Egyptians, two Palestinians, a Tunisian carrying a Belgium passport, an Egyptian with a British passport, and an Albanian carrying the French passport.
