| 2015-06-17 |
| [AlAhram] Defendants in the so-called Zawahri case pledged allegiance to 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... during their trial in Cairo on Tuesday. "I announce my allegiance, along with Adel Habara, to Abu-Bakr El-Baghdadi, the Islamic State leader," cried Ammar Ali Ramadan, a defendant in the case. "Soon we will see him ruling this country," he added. The defendants are accused of managing a terrorist organization aimed at declaring the state "infidel," forcefully a change of regime, opposing the government using weapons, and targeting officers and institutions of the army and police. They are also accused of targeting Coptic Christians and their holy places, of committing terrorist acts in order to spread chaos in the country, and exposing society to danger. Adel Habara is a Lion of Islam who is being retried after his death sentence was revoked on Saturday in the separate 'Rafah second massacre case'. Habara's name hit the headlines when he was accused of carrying out an execution-style killing of 25 coppers in an ambush in August 2013. He was enjugged Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! in August 2013 in the North Sinai town of Al-Arish. Jihadist groups Ansar Bayt Al-Maqdis and Jund Al-Khilafa in Egypt announced their allegiance to the IS group on 30 June and 23 September 2014 respectively. Militants have killed hundreds of police and army personnel in the past year and a half in North Sinai, while the authorities have announced that hundreds of Death Eaters have been killed in military campaigns in the governorate. |
