IS Claims Killing of Egypt Police General
2015-09-18
[AnNahar] Gunmen have rubbed out a police general in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, the interior ministry said, in the latest attack claimed by 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....
group jihadists.

Assailants in a car bumped off General Khaled Kamal Osman during an inspection of a police unit in the North Sinai bustling provincial capital El-Arish late on Wednesday, the interior ministry said.

The gunnies fled after the police retaliated, it said in a statement.

Egypt's branch of the Islamic State group, which calls itself Sinai Province, said on Twitter that it had carried out the attack.
