| Three women killed in clashes in Egypt's Sinai |

| [CA.REUTERS] Two women were killed by a rocket-propelled grenade while another died in crossfire between bully boyz and security forces in two separate incidents in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, security and medical sources said on Sunday. Security sources blamed the violence on Sinai Province, Egypt's most active krazed killer network and the same group that claimed attacks on Thursday that killed at least 30 security personnel in the worst anti-government violence in months. In Rafah, along the border with the Paleostinian Gazoo Strip, bully boyz launched a rocket-propelled grenade at a military checkpoint, but hit a house instead, killing two women, security and medical sources said. The wayward RPG also maimed two other women and two children, the sources said. In another incident in Rafah, a woman was killed by a stray bullet during a firefight between bully boyz and security forces, while two others were maimed, security sources said. A man was also maimed after security forces shot at him at a checkpoint in historic provincial capital Al-Arish for violating a curfew that has been in place since the last major attacks in October, the sources said. Egypt is facing a Sinai-based insurgency that has claimed the lives of hundreds of security forces since the army removed president Mohahmed Mursi of the Moslem Brüderbund in June 2013 following mass protests against his rule. The krazed killer group Sinai Province, formerly known as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis ... Supporters of Jerusalem, the current pen name of al-Qaeda in the Sinai Peninsula... , changed its name when it 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.... , the ultra-radical Sunni group that has taken over swathes of Iraq and Syria. |
