| [Ynet] An Egyptian army official says hard boyz have killed a conscript and maimed an officer in festivities in the restive northern part of the Sinai Peninsula. The fighting on Monday near the town of Sheikh Zuweyid pitted troops against Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, snuffies 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 last year. The long-restive northern Sinai has seen a spike in attacks targeting security forces since the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013. |
