2017-02-23
[AlAhram] Two Egyptian Copts were killed on Wednesday by unknown assailants in North Sinai's al-Arish, only two days after 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) hard boy group in Egypt released a video vowing to carry out attacks against the Christian community in Egypt.

According to al-Ahram news hound in North Sinai, the bodies of the two men, believed to be from the same family, were found on a roadside in al-Arish.

The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported that Egyptian security officials identified the two slain men as Saad Hana, 65, and his son Medhat, 45.

Security sources told AP Saad was rubbed out and Medhat was kidnapped and burned alive.

No group has yet grabbed credit for the Wednesday attack.
But Ansar Bayt al Maqdis will eventually claim credit.
