Islamic State Calls to Increase
Attacks in Egypt
Cairo,
Sep 22 (Prensa Latina).— The Islamic State (IS), the
armed group that has become a nightmare in several
countries, posted a communiqué on the Internet on
Monday calling on armed groups in Egypt to increase
their actions.
The call,
which has not been verified, advises the armed
groups that act on the Sinai Peninsula to "sow paths
of explosives, attack their bases (of the Army and
the Police), and cut off their heads".
A few days ago, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el
Sisi offered his cooperation to the coalition of 40
countries at the proposal of the United States to
fight the IS, although he did not offer troops.
El Sisi made the offer to US Secretary of State John
Kerry, who paid a brief visit to Cairo, as part of a
tour of the Levant and Turkey to seek support for
the planned coalition.
The communiqué from the IS follows the explosions of
two homemade bombs on Sunday in the capital district
of Boulak Abou Ila, near the headquarters of the
Foreign Ministry, as a result of which two police
officers were killed and ten were injured, including
a general and a passerby, authorities said.
