“AP confirms former bin Laden doctor leading jihadists in Sinai”

SNIPPET: “An Egyptian doctor once close to Osama bin Laden is bringing together multiple al-Qaida-inspired militant groups in Egypt’s Sinai to fight the country’s military, as the lawless peninsula emerges as a new theater for jihad, according to Egyptian intelligence and security officials...
...Topping the most wanted list in Sinai is Ramzi Mawafi, a doctor who joined al-Qaida in Afghanistan in the 1990s. Mawafi, 61, escaped from an Egyptian prison in 2011 in a massive jailbreak that also sprung free Morsi and more than a dozen Muslim Brotherhood members during the chaos of the uprising against autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

Mawafi is now believed to be in Sinai coordinating among militant groups and helping arrange money and weapons, security officials told The Associated Press.”

SNIPPET: “In addition to elaborating on Mowafi’s role in the Sinai, the AP report confirmed that there has been an influx of foreign jihadists to the Sinai.”

It appears that Egypt has an undocumented worker problem. Soetoro is working at getting them amnesty.
