| American Soldier Shot In Egypt's Sinai | |
| 2014-08-06 | |
[IsraelTimes] US soldier with the Multinational Force and Observers mission (MFO) in Egypt's Sinai was maimed when gunnies shot at his camp late Monday, a security official said.
The security official said that the soldier was maimed in the arm and treated by medics inside the MFO camp, near the northern Sinai village of El-Joura. Since Morsi's ouster police have cracked down on his Islamist supporters, leaving at least 1,400 dead in street festivities and thousands imprisoned. The Egyptian army has recently intensified its raids against Islamist fighters after Death Eaters killed 22 soldiers in an attack on a checkpoint near the western border with Libya. The MFO is an independent multinational peacekeeping mission in Sinai, which borders Israel and the Paleostinian Gazoo Strip. Its role is to monitor the implementation of the 1979 peace treaty that led to Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai. | |

| #2 Sorry for the typo. That should read an annual payment of $2 billion to Israel. |

| #1 In the aftermath of the Camp David Accords, along with annual payments in excess of $3 billion to Israel and $1 billion to Egypt the US funds the Multinational Force. It served its purpose for more than a quarter-century; what good it does now is debatable. |
