| 2014-06-29 |
| [AnNahar] Gunmen killed four Egyptian coppers in the restive northern Sinai on Saturday, a security source said, with police blaming the attack on "takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... " jihadist bully boys. Militants in the Sinai Peninsula have stepped up attacks on troops and police since the military ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... last July. A security source said the men were killed "on the road between the towns of Rafah and El-Arish in north Sinai when takfiri elements forced the pick-up they were driving to stop, made the four coppers get out and opened fire on them". The coppers had been returning to their posts after the weekend, the source said, adding that the attackers fled into the desert. Most bully boy attacks have hit the north of the mostly desert Sinai Peninsula, but they have also extended their reach to Cairo and the Nile Delta. Saturday's shooting came just hours after bombings killed two people in a Cairo suburb. The makeshift devices in a telecommunications building under construction in the October 6 suburb were detonated by a mobile phone signal, police told Agence La Belle France Presse. Medics said the watchman's wife and 18-year-old daughter were killed. |
