Shadi al-Menei, the head of a Sinai Peninsula Islamist militant group, was shot dead on Friday by unknown assailants, security sources said, days before Egypt holds elections to vote for a new president.

Key Excerpts

Al-Menei was the head of Ansar Beit Al Maqdis, or “Defenders of Jerusalem,” which was responsible for several recent attacks on security forces in Egypt, and bombing a tour bus carrying Christians near Eilat.

“Jews must understand that our war with the enemy inside will not make us forget the prime enemy of the [Muslim] nation, who occupies the land and defiles the sacred places,” Ansar said in a statement.
