ISIS Blows Up Egypt-Jordan Gas Pipeline
Arutz Sheva ^ | 11-15-14 | Dalit Halevy

The Islamic State's Sinai Peninsula terror organization, which was named Ansar Bayt al-Makdas until it swore allegiance to Islamic State (aka ISIS), has blown up the pipeline carrying gas from Egypt to Jordan.

The pipeline, which is 1,200 km long, and was built at a cost of $1.2 billion, is used for exporting natural gas to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. In the past, it was repeatedly attacked by Islamist terror groups, until Egypt's gas exports to Israel were halted.

The Islamic State's Sinai Peninsula notified the press that it would not allow gas to be exported to Jordan unless ISIS head Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi allowed it. It said that the attack was a response to Jordan's participation in the military coalition against ISIS.

The war with ISIS is entering into another stage.

ISIS has dropped the fake sheep clothing and formally confirmed it's allegiance with the wolves of al -Qaeda while at the same time moving and expanding the war to Jordan

Good for them

Now they got the guys who dumped the Muslim Brotherhood mad at them.

Along with the ever evil and unforgiving Saudis, they managed now to make enemies of pretty much everyone in the region.

We dont have to fight this war, just contract it out.

Awesome, ISIS, please keep poking the Egyptian lion. No, no, no, really just keep poking it with your little stick. Really, you’ll find his reaction very instructive.

ISIS is threat to both West & much of the Muslim world.

Only the bat guana crazy Islamist are not threatened. But even among Islamist, some of them loose their head over “differences”.

Jordan sold the last of its mineral rights many years ago so the King could get beach front property in Acaba.
You should see the palace.

This is NOT going to end well.
