| Egypt's Islamic State affiliate claims rocket attack on naval boat | |
| 2015-07-17 | |
| [AlAhram] 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.... 's Egypt affiliate, Sinai Province, has grabbed credit for Thursday's missile attack on a naval boat off the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. The Egyptian army said in a statement earlier that the patrol boat was chasing bully boyz off the coast of Rafah, a town in North Sinai, and had exchanged gunfire with them. The boat caught on fire as a result, but the incident left no fatalities, the military said. Sinai Province released a statement saying its jihadists had carried out a rocket attack on a naval vessel belonging to the "apostasy army" in the eastern Mediterranean. The volatile North Sinai region, where Rafah is located, is an epicenter of a mounting Islamist insurgency that has killed hundreds of members of the security forces since the 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi.
