Sinai Jihadi group says responsible for Israel attack in June Ismailia | Sat Jul 28, 2012 3:02pm EDT

(Reuters) - An Islamic Jihadi group based in Egypt's Sinai has posted a video showing it carried out a cross-border attack in June, killing one Israeli at a border barrier construction site and raising doubts over Egypt's security control over the desert peninsula.

Since the overthrow of U.S.-aligned Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, the security grip has loosened over Sinai and groups of militant Islamists have spread across its northern part, attacking police stations and a pipeline exporting gas to Israel and Jordan.

An online video posted on Friday featured members of a new group named "Magles Shoura al-Mujahddin" wearing military outfits and choosing as their target an Israeli security patrol and a border town.

The men who according to the video carried out the attack, identified as Egyptian Abu Salah and a Saudi, Abu Hozaifa, said they sought revenge for "Muslims' blood" and dedicated the attack to Ayman al-Zawahri, Al Qaeda's leader.

"We will head shortly to execute a double suicide operation targeting the Jewish enemy forces on the Egyptian borders," Abu Salah said, reading out from a piece of paper before the attack with a black flag in the background covered with religious slogans. Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is ideologically hostile to the Jewish state and linked to the Hamas Islamists who run the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian territory that also abuts Sinai.

I’m ashamed to say this, but I had no idea Zawahiri was dead. That’s excellent news!

[Milagros]

Oh boy, my bad... avenging killing of Muslims... dedicated to al-Zawahiri.

[bert]

After your thought I read the article again and do not think it said the man was dead. I think it said the attack was dedicated to him, which I took to mean in his honor.

[Col Frank Slade]

When did we kill Zawahiri ?

I wish..

[Bringbackthedraft]

Ayman al-Zawahri dead????? When did that happen? I didn’t see Obama making an announcement as how he got him.

[Wings-n-Wind]

I beleive ol' Ayman is still out there...

These attacks are merely "dedicated" to him...
...as the de facto current (hopefully temporary #1) "leader" of AQ...

I sure there is an app for that.... somewhere

[Future Snake Eater]

Yeah, now I see—we killed OBL and the #2 guy Abu Yahya al-Libi in June, which now leaves Zawahiri in charge of AQ.

[Wings-n-Wind]

I was right....

These attacks are at least partially funded by 900,000,000 in cash Obama gave to the Gaza strip controlled by Hamas.

[Milagros]

Imagine if Obama had not pushed away the non-Islamists anti-Morsi bloc in Egypt...
NEVER FORGET! The culprits:

Carter = Ayattolah, Obama = Morsi!

[Milagros]

Correct.
