| Egypt Army Says 184 'Terrorists' Killed in Sinai |
| 2013-12-24 |
| [An Nahar] Egypt's army said Monday that, since August, it has killed 184 "terrorists" in North Sinai, where gunnies have carried out nearly daily attacks against security forces after the toppling of president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... The military has "eliminated 184 bully boyz and radicals," state news agency MENA quoted army front man Colonel Ahmed Ali as saying. Alis said 203 others had been maimed and 835 were incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! It is impossible to verify these figures independently. Jihadists have stepped up a campaign against security forces in the Sinai peninsula, which borders both Israel and the Gazoo Strip, since the ouster of Morsi, killing more than 100 members of security forces. Egypt has poured troops into the mountainous and underdeveloped Sinai to combat growing militancy while it has waged a crackdown on moderate Islamists elsewhere. |
