What is the significance of Al-Qaeda's presence in Sinai?
2015-08-03
[AlAhram] The Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Murabitun has announced its presence in Sinai, but what does this mean for the restive peninsula?

The announcement of the presence in Sinai of Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Murabitun has not come as a surprise to observers and has underscored a number of facts. The group's conflict with 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group is mirrored in other parts of the region; a prime example being the animosity between Al-Nusra Front, another Al-Qaeda affiliate, in Syria and IS in Iraq.
