The raids were carried out by members of the Second and Third armies in some parts of Al-Arish, Shiekh Zuweid, Rafah and central Sinai, an army front man statement Sunday read. Five suspects were also arrested, according to the statement, and a number of weapons, explosives, and bullets were seized. The army's Operation Martyr's Right started last September aiming to rid the Sinai Peninsula of a decade-long Islamist Death Eater insurgency that spiked more than two years ago following the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. It also aims to pave the way for sustainable development in North Sinai. Authorities have reported over the past two years that hundreds of Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, which pledged allegiance to the 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.... Death Eater group in November 2014, has grabbed credit for most of the deadly attacks in North Sinai. |
