In Egypt's Sinai, Militants Intensify Attacks
(AP) Aya Batrawy - Militant groups in Sinai have grown bolder, striking security forces almost daily and also turning on local Christians. Some are now openly vowing to drive the military out of the peninsula and establish an "Islamic emirate." Egyptian military intelligence officials said they are keeping a close watch on extremist brigades in Gaza close to Hamas. They said Israel has been providing intelligence on the groups' movements.
