Egypt 'bombs IS [ISIS] in Libya' after beheadings video
BBC ^ | 16 February 2015 Last updated at 06:34 GMT | BBC

Egypt says it has bombed Islamic State targets in Libya, hours after the group published video showing the apparent beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians.

State TV said the dawn strikes had targeted camps, training sites and weapons storage areas.

Earlier, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt had the "right to respond" against IS.

A video emerged on Sunday showing a group wearing orange overalls being forced to the ground and decapitated.

IS militants claim to have carried out several attacks in Libya, which is in effect without a government.

"Egypt reserves the right to respond at the proper time and in the appropriate style in retaliation against those inhuman criminal killers," President Sisi said.

"Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals."

The kidnapped Egyptian workers, all Coptic Christians, were seized in December and January from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya, under the control of Islamist groups.

Thanks for your excellent work on the data re Isis in Lybia.

The silence on this by our media is criminal in nature.

He could be sinister, or simply inept, and a bungler, but a figurehead nevertheless.

Nah... Sinister means left handed.

Oh! Wait!!

Keep an eye on this Sisi. He apparently wants to be the president of everyone in Egypt. This is the guy that Obama fought against.

Here’s the thing.

I don’t believe Obama cares about one particular ideology so much as he’s trying to collapse the American and world economic and social order, aka Cloward & Piven.

He is a hater. That’s what I think. He wants to see collapse and destruction and people at each others’ throats and wants power to be in the hands of a few such as himself and some of his buddies. He hates freedom. He hates the Founders and the system they created under the U.S. Constitution. He uses Islam, he uses left wing “Christianity”, he uses Blacks, Hispanics, Mexicans, Guatemalans, the poor, the dependent, the rich; the crony Capitalists, anyone and everyone, in his scheme.

I think of it this way. He is an apologist for Islam and countries where women and children are treated like dirt and men can be tortured or executed because their beards are too short. IOW for Sharia. We saw with our own eyes him bowing to the Saudi king, for example. He’s worried about anti-Muslim backlash, etc, while Christians and non-violent Muslims are being slaughtered all over the world.

Obama is using this. He wants America to become filled with both legal and illegal immigrants from all over the world. Muslims, Hispanics from other countries, etc. He wants to set Muslim against Christian, foreigners against Americans, a mosque on every corner right next to Catholic cathedrals and conservative fundamentalist Christians. He wants the big government boot on every neck. Favor those he favors and attack those he doesn’t.

He’s for “Gay Marriage” and for it being forced on this society. At the same time he’s an apologist for Sharia Law under which you must have permission for every move you make and every breath you take.

Hedonism vs Sharia, Christianity vs Sharia, races at classes at odds, men and women and children unable to have real, normal families, jobless whose jobs were stolen by illegals, you name it.

He will gloat and celebrate the day everything in the current order comes crashing down.

From the ashes he or his buddies will offer a new order and only in connection to that order can the shell shocked receive even a handout, in order to survive...

Let us notice that the EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT, opposed by Obama (Obama embraced the Muslim Brotherhood government, ousted by the current one), IS DEFENDING CHRISTIANS’ LIVES.

Side note: these are Muslims...who care more about Christians being murdered than OBAMA.

You should really watch the movie. A true classic.

Not sure, but you certainly have a credible theory and well described.

“Note a pattern here.
“Hezbollah kills Israeli soldiers, Israel immediately bombs them.

“ISIS beheads the Jordanian pilot, Jordan immediately bombs ISIS.

“ISIS beheads Egyptian Copts, Egypt immediately bombs ISIS.

“ISIS beheads Americans, America debates, anguishes over new “red lines” and then, only after other pussy countries like France bomb the hell out of the Islamcists, Obama responds but not really, half committed”

Looks like you nailed that one perfectly! Good job!

I agree. We or at least, many of us, are a bit detached from the horrible realities of what you said.

I don’t want to call Egypt secular or ‘was secular’ but I’m under the impression that if you wanted booze or to watch a belly dancer or even see the pyramids, things like that, you could do it. In fact, that resort on the sea in Egypt was attacked some years ago because it had Israeli tourists there.

Isn’t the territory controlled by ISIS in Libya on the far side from Egypt??

No, it's mostly on the side close to Egypt. However the beheadings apparently took place near Tripoli on the far side. In any event, Egyptian planes can hit targets pretty much anywhere in Libya.

The map I saw on Wiki showed Derna or Durna on the far side, or maybe I was cross-eyed when I looked at it.

Well, you know the Left Eurotwit. They have selective outrage. If Bush had pulled in Libya what Obie and CanKles pulled, Code Pink would have picketed the White House.With the Democrats and the Media, it’s never what is being done or said. It only matters WHO.
