Egypt Kills IS Leader Who Claimed Responsibility for Downing Russian Airliner

SputnikNews

On Monday this week, Egyptian Police claims they killed him as attempted fleeing police in Cairo. He sensed their presense and ran for it but killed by police gunfire.

I am mobile today so short OP.
It's a paid Holiday too so don't be surprised if I log out pronto!!

Just seems a bit too 'tidy'.

The person who claimed responsibility for downing the plain is not the leader of IS. He is a branch in Egypt who have sworn allegance to IS and in return get weapons resources and bomb making knowledge. Misleading title.

Actually it is not misleading.

Egypt Kills IS Leader Who Claimed Responsibility for Downing Russian Airliner

The IS leader who claimed responsibility for downing the airliner is NOT the leader of IS. He is, as stated, a leader of the local IS who CLAIMED responsibility.

Anything to add other than your negativity to the thread?

To the OP, thank you for the thread. I will be interested in finding confirmation of this through other sources.

As another poster stated, at the moment, IMHO, this all seems to convenient.

Killing the killers, or the patsies.

SOP.

Wow, all sounds a little to sewn up hey? What are the chances?

What, not in secret hiding spot? Not hiding in the mountains with his band of merry psychos? No, massive "you'll never take me alive" battle?

Pffffft!

I call BS.

Too clean, tidy and so soon.

Just cleaning up those loose ends. The Sunni Gulf States orchestrating the creation of caliphates by means of terrorism certainly don't want their deeds tracing back to them, it's Spy 101, eliminate the cut-out man.

Not IS . Not all rebel groups who affiliate with IS are IS. So it is misleading. If pointing out a misleading statement is negativity then I am negative.

Swift justice. Perhaps a little more swift justice is what I.S. deserves.

They had traced his location by satelite due to weapons testing . Thermal readings in remote locations is not common.The rough location was known to many intelligence groups so it is not convient it was a matter of time. Due to the nature of the attack it was gonna be quicker than most attacks.

If this was done in 2 weeks time it would still be too convient for some.

The Egyptian police will kill you for jaywalking.

They make our cops seem like pussy cats

NOTHING they say can be trusted....their amongst the most brutal police in the world

a reply to: Willtell

You've clearly never been to Egypt. Everyone jaywalks there because cars have the right-of-way, no one uses the traffic lights (no seriously, they are completely useless) and the only way to cross streets is by dodging insane traffic. I had an Egyptian policeman help me cross the round-about in Tahrir Square.

Just saying...

Absolutely ... we all know those ISIS guys claim responsibility for everything, and didn't he say he had "help" from God, to do it.

Hope the Russians aren't so quick in buying this "tidy" work.

That isn't "justice" ... how many people are on "death" row, but are innocent.

We all know the Russians would have gotten to him, sooner or later ... and they'd have made him talk. So, this is "clean up the mess" work, not justice.

So, now we know it ... ISIS "possibly" didn't do it, like the Russians said ... it's way to handy that ever since 1993, they managed to get one bomb in ... just a month after the Russians started bombing ... way too convenient, and way too tidy ...

why kill him?
Perhaps some other country/s benefit from that?
what did he know or didint know?
who was connected to him?
to whom was he an asset
to whom did he perhaps become a liability?
