Militants in Egypt today killed 25 policemen execution-style in an ambush in the Sinai Peninsula, as the chaos in the country continued.

Those “Irish” are Egyptian-dressed “children” (oldest female is age 27) of a radical imam, and they went over there to Egypt to join the MB protesters, fled into the mosque with the other radicals who were shooting at police from the windows and tower, and now they are now whining about getting the protections of their “Irish” citizenship

I'm sure the whole family is red haired and freckle-faced, and from a good Catholic upbringing. *Not*.
