ISIS affiliate in Egypt’s Sinai swears allegiance to new ISIS leader
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Egypt’s ISIS
...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
affiliate, Sinai Province,
...previously known as Ansar Bayt al Maqdis, which originally was the Sinai province of Al Qaeda before moving their allegiance to the kewl new guys....
has sworn allegiance to the new leader named by the group following the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the affiliate said on Telegram on Saturday.

Sinai Province, which has waged an insurgency against the Egyptian state, posted pictures of around two dozen fighters standing among trees, with a caption saying they were pledging allegiance to Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi.

Quraishi was named on Thursday in an audio message that also confirmed Baghdadi’s death and vowed Dire Revenge against the United States. US special forces killed Baghdadi in a raid in northwest Syria.

ISIS has resorted to guerrilla attacks since losing its last significant piece of territory in Syria in March, and has posted dozens of claims of responsibility for attacks in several countries since Baghdadi’s death.

Egyptian ground and air forces launched a major offensive focused on North Sinai early last year. Military operations and hard boy attacks continue in the area.
