Islamic State claims responsibility for Egypt's Sinai attack
Follow up to this report from yesterday.
[Jpost] Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
on Friday grabbed credit for an attack on an Egyptian military vehicle in North Sinai province that killed and maimed several military personnel, the group's Amaq news agency reported.

The attack occurred on Thursday south of Bir al-Abd city in the Northern Sinai region. Egypt's military said that 10 military personnel were killed or maimed in a blast targeting an armored vehicle.

Amaq said Islamic State gunnies targeted an Egyptian army armored vehicle yesterday in Bir al-Abd by detonating an bomb, without giving any evidence or details on how many were involved.

Egypt has been fighting Islamist Death Eaters who have killed hundreds of police and soldiers in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula since the ousting of Mohammed Morsi of the Moslem Brüderbund in 2013 following mass protests against his rule.
