Egypt says police killed militants who attacked Italian consulate
2015-09-26
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Egyptian security forces on Friday killed nine holy warriors who took part in a kaboom at the Italian consulate in Cairo in July, the Interior Ministry said.

The ultra-hardline 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, which has supporters based in Egypt's Sinai peninsula, had grabbed credit for that July attack which killed one person.

The Interior Ministry said three coppers were maimed in an exchange of fire with what it called "terrorists" killed in a raid on a house in Cairo on Friday. It said they were found with weapons, including belts used for suicide kabooms.

Hours before the Interior Ministry issued a statement, officials told Rooters that security forces killed nine members of the Moslem Brüderbund movement in the same operation. The group, whose top leaders have been sentenced to death in what human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
groups call unfair trials, says it is committed to peaceful activism.

"The Brotherhood members clashed with security forces," said one of the officials, adding that they were meeting to plan what he called "terrorist attacks".

Egypt's government describes holy warriors as bandidos hard boyz and makes no distinction between the Brotherhood, which renounced violence decades ago, and groups like Islamic State and Al Qaeda, arguing they share the same ideology.
