| Severed Head Found Near Israeli Crossing In Sinai | |
| 2012-09-01 | |
Security sources said the head, found near al-Ouja crossing with Israel, most likely belonged to Mnayzel Barikat, who disappeared two days ago. Barikat was seized by jihadi groups, who accuse him of cooperating with Israel in the liquidation of a jihadi turban in the Sinai peninsula on Sunday, the sources said. Security officials believe the jihadi organizations are behind the decapitation. Two others suspected of involvement in Sunday's attack fled to Israel, one accompanied by his wife, residents and security officials said. Ibrahim Owida Nasser Madan was killed in an kaboom while riding his cycle of violence south of Al-Qasiya, 15 kilometers from the Israeli border. At the time, an Egyptian intelligence report said he was hit by a missile fired by an Israeli drone. Other officials told Ma'an that Madan may have been killed by a missile which went kaboom!while Death Eaters were trying to launch it. Israel told Egyptian authorities it was not involved in the incident, Egyptian security sources said. Madan, a member of a Jihadi turban group, had just been released by Egyptian security services after he was locked away Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! a few days ago during an Egyptian security campaign in northern Sinai, the intelligence report said. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea... high-level security officials in Sinai on Friday expressed disappointment in what they called the failure of a military campaign against Jihadi Death Eaters in the Egyptian territory. Egyptian forces in the Sinai began withdrawing some deployments on Thursday, security sources said, after a deal was reportedly struck with jihadi groups to cease hostilities. Egypt's Middle East News Agency insisted 'Operation Eagle' -- launched early August after a deadly attack on Egyptian border guards -- was ongoing. Egyptian security experts and political figures told Ma'an the drawdown of forces was "caving in to Jihadi groups' threats and Israeli and US pressure to limit military presence (in the border Sinai region)." Security officials said they had submitted a report to Egypt's military leadership showing that around 500 jihadi Death Eaters are hiding in seven locations in the central Sinai desert, and complained it had not been followed up. | |

| #1 After that meeting with Bebe, I'm surprised the head didn't belong to Shapiro. |
