| 2014-11-15 |
| [IsraelTimes] Egypt's deadliest myrmidon group, which has pledged allegiance to 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadists, on Friday grabbed credit for a suicide kaboom last month that killed 30 soldiers. Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis ... Supporters of Jerusalem, the current pen name of al-Qaeda in the Sinai Peninsula... , which has spearheaded an insurgency in Egypt's restive Sinai Peninsula, made the claim in a video posted on social media. The group has killed scores of coppers and soldiers since the army overthrew president Mohammed Morsi last year, but the October 24 attack in which a jihadist rammed a military checkpoint in northern Sinai with an explosives-packed car was the deadliest such incident in years. It said it was acting in retaliation for a crackdown on Islamist supporters following Morsi's removal from power. At least 1,400 people have been killed in the crackdown, while more than 15,000 have been tossed in the slammer Please don't kill me! and hundreds sentenced to death. In the video, the group promises further attacks against the security forces and said it was speaking directly to President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, the former army chief who toppled Morsi and unleashed a crackdown on Islamists. Earlier this week, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State organization in Iraq and Syria in a bid to boost recruitment and bolster its fight against the Egyptian army, according to analysts. |
