| [AlAhram] Two police conscripts were killed and 16 others injured early Saturday when an IED (improvised bomb) detonated in North Sinai, the interior ministry announced. According to the short statement issued by the ministry, the IED, planted by unknown assailants, detonated when a security forces armoured vehicle was passing on a road in Al-Arish. The injured were taken to hospital to receive treatment. The North-Sinai based Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis -- an 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.... affiliated group -- grabbed credit for the attack in a statement published on social media networks. Egypt's security forces are currently fighting a campaign against a decade-long hard boy insurgency in North Sinai. Last week, the Egyptian armed forces announced the end of the first stage of the "Martyrs' Right" operation, which involved the killing of over 500 hard boyz in North Sinai in 16 days. Militants have killed hundreds of police and army personnel in the past year and a half in North Sinai, while authorities have announced that hundreds of hard boyz have been killed in military campaigns in the governorate. The Islamist group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, recently renamed Sinai Province, has grabbed credit for most attacks against security forces in North Sinai. |
