| 2014-09-24 |
| [AnNahar] Egyptian security forces on Tuesday killed four fighters from the country's deadliest murderous Moslem group on the Sinai Peninsula, where troops regularly battle jihadists, officials said. The four jihadists from Ansar Beit al-Maqdis (Partisans of Jerusalem) were killed when the car they were travelling in was struck by artillery fire south of the town of Sheikh Zuweid, the security officials said. Eight other members of the group were jugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! in separate raids in the towns of Sheikh Zuweid and Rafah. Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has orchestrated a string of attacks targeting security forces to avenge a deadly government crackdown on supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi. The group claimed two bombing on the Sinai that killed 17 coppers this month, and said it was behind the beheading in August four Sinai residents it accused of being "Israeli informants" who helped target and kill its members. Ansar Beit al-Maqdis used to launch rocket attacks against Israel, but since Morsi's ouster in July 2013 it has claimed deadly attacks in the Sinai, the Nile Delta and in Cairo. It also recently expressed support for the Lion of Islam 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 (IS) that has seized swathes of Iraq and Syria. |
