Sinai Terror? Yep
Well this is awkward. The Egyptians say that “there are no terrorist organizations in Sinai and the security situation is under control”
IAF thwarts terror attack at Egypt border
One of the Egyptian armoured vehicles burning
Arab news outlets reported Sunday that 11 Egyptian policemen were killed in an armed attack on a police station in north Sinai Peninsula at a security checkpoint in Rafah.The gunmen reportedly took control of two Egyptian armored vehicles using RPG missiles and explosives. One of the vehicles blew up near the Kerem Shalom border crossing, while the other one managed to infiltrate into Israel. The gunmen fired tank shells toward Israeli forces stationed at the border, but IAF aircraft managed to hit the armored vehicle.
The IDF spokesman has announced that there were no casualties among IDF forces or Israeli civilians.
According to al-Arabiya network, the gunmen, who are affiliated with the global jihadist movement which has become increasingly active in Sinai, drove a four-wheel-drive vehicle when they attacked the troops.
“It seems the attack was sudden and well-coordinated, using heavy arms, ” an al-Arabiya reporter said.
The website of Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram reported that the soldiers were killed after a terrorist cell blew up a car bomb inside an Egyptian base near Rafah.
The attack occurred during the Iftar evening meal, when Muslims break their Ramadan fast.
Reacting to the incident, senior security officials said that the terrorists who tried to infiltrate Israel were planning a major terror attack. “Should they have succeeded, it could have been a very serious terror attack. A major disaster has been prevented.”
It should be interesting to watch how the Muslim Brotherhood, after tasting their own medicine, react.

Ahh Ramadan, the holiday that just keeps on giving and giving. Chag Semeach to the religion of pieces!

Has the NYT’s Tom Friedman found a way to blame it on the Jews yet? He will.
Sliverschwanz already has, using the “If my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle” brand of logic.
Appropriately, on the article right after the one praising Avruminejad (Burg).
1. Ban all Israelis from Sinai – enough with the “warnings”. Why Israeli Jews would not only put themselves in danger but also give money to Jew hating Egypt is proof that Israelis are not always the brightest of people (and don’t get me started about the Ehud Olmert/Amir Peretz duo).
2. Shore up your Southern defenses, finish the security fence and back them up with one or two armored brigades supported by infantry.
As Presidential Candidate John McCain said to the gay Arizona sheriff: “Build the dang fence!” McCain lost the election and the gay sheriff got into political trouble for taking liberties with some gay illegal immigrants. Maybe good fences make good neighbors after all.
This is what the SS did when it faked an invasion from Poland in order to…invade Poland.
