[27 Oct 2013] Egypt: Video goes viral showing ex-army officer carrying out car bomb attack - English
In Egypt, a video has gone viral showing an ex-army officer carrying out a car bomb attack last month. The botched attack was said to have targeted the interior minister. The video was posted online on Saturday by an al-Qaeda-affiliated group, which claims to have also carried out other attacks on the volatile Sinai Peninsula. The video shows a man in army uniform with a rank of a major. Egypt\'s Interior Ministry had confirmed that a former officer was behind the assassination attempt. The ex-officer was sacked from the military more than 10 years ago because of his extremist ideas. He then went to Afghanistan and joined militant groups in Iraq and Syria.
