| [Beirut Daily Star] An Egyptian murderous Moslem group that 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.... organization last month has claimed it was behind the killing of an American oil worker in August. "We claim the murder of American oilman William Henderson in the Western Desert" of Egypt, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis said on Twitter. The message was accompanied by pictures of Henderson's work identity cards and his passport, without providing any more details. Egyptian security sources contacted by AFP on Monday said police had received information that jihadists had killed Henderson in August. Henderson, who worked for the US oil company Apache, was slain near his workplace in the Western Desert, the sources added. According to US media reports that cited Henderson's obituary and employer, the 58-year-old had been killed in a carjacking while working in the Karama oil field on August 6. |
