By Micah Halpern
Monday November 21, 2016 I've Been Thinking: Two assassination attempts against Egyptian President al Sisi were just foiled by Egypt's police. The assassins were members of ISIS. Egypt is experiencing very difficult economic and social tensions. Al Sisi is working hard at keeping terrorists at bay, but it is a difficult battle. One of the assassination plots was to be carried out at the Clock Tower Hotel in Mecca during the president's pilgrimage to the Hajj. At the same time that al Sisi was being murdered, the ISIS plotters planned to assassinate the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Muhammed bin Nayyef. Egyptian police also uncovered a second ISIS plot. They call the plotters the bearded police and they have been arrested and charged. Assassination is a commonly used weapon in the Middle East. ISIS is exploiting those who are loyal to the cause, many of whom work inside mainstream professions, by getting them to hand over information and facilitate access to targets. That is exactly what happened in Mecca and in Egypt. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. To reprint my essays contact sales (at) www.featurewell.com 4 June 2017 12:12 PM in Thoughts
