| IS in Egypt Claims Soldier's Execution-Style Killing |
| 2015-04-12 |
| [AnNahar] Egyptian jihadists who pledged allegiance to the 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.... group have posted a video online appearing to show them shooting dead an Egyptian soldier and beheading another captive. The video, uploaded overnight on social networks, shows an individual telling the camera that he is an Egyptian soldier who was captured in an ambush on an army outpost in North Sinai on April 2. Attacks claimed by jihadists that day killed 15 soldiers and two civilians near the regional capital of El-Arish, the deadliest assault for months despite a massive army campaign against murderous Moslems on the Sinai Peninsula. The video then shows the soldier being shot in the head by a masked bad boy after another unidentified captive is beheaded. A security official said the soldier's body was retrieved a day after the El-Arish attack. The Egyptian IS affiliate Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has in the past carried out similar execution-style killings in Sinai of people it accused of spying for Israel. The group changed its name last year to the Sinai Province after pledging allegiance to IS, which controls territory in Iraq and Syria. |
