Defunct Egyptian jihadist militant group (2011-14)
Ansar Bait al-Maqdis (ABM ; Arabic : أَنْصَارُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِس , romanized : Anṣār Bayt al-Maqdis , lit. 'Supporters of the Holy House '[10] ), or Ansar Al-Quds [11] (lit. ' Supporters of Jerusalem ' ), was a jihadist , extremist terrorist group based in Sinai from 2011-14.
Ansar Bait al-Maqdis was linked to al-Qaeda from 2011 to 2014. It operated in the Sinai Peninsula , focused its efforts on Egypt and the gas pipeline to Jordan , with a handful attacks directed at Israel. In mid-2013, it began a campaign of attacks on Egyptian security forces, and in November 2014 the group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).[4] Most of the group became a branch of ISIL , renaming itself ISIL-Sinai Province .
Overview [ edit ]
ABM emerged from a number of indigenous Salafi jihadist groups in the Sinai Peninsula . Some of these groups had ties to Salafi jihadis in Gaza or leaders that had previously fought abroad, including with al-Qaeda .[12]
ABM rose from the chaos in Sinai that began with the uprising in January 2011 . Its operations increased in the wake of the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état , shifting its main target from Israel to Egyptian security forces,[7] [12] declaring the Egyptian army and police apostates that can be killed.[13]
ABM was believed to have been the main group behind terrorist activity in the Sinai.[14] From September 2013 to late January 2014, ABM claimed responsibility for a rapid succession of mass scale attacks throughout Egypt, including the attempted assassination of the Egyptian interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim.[12] ABM recruited Bedouins as well as other Egyptians and people of other nationalities.[14] Ten leaders from the group were reported to have escaped from the Sinai to Gaza and Marsa Matrouh in late 2013.[15]
During 2014, ABM sent emissaries to ISIL in Syria to seek financial support, weapons and tactical advice.[16] On 10 November 2014, many members of ABM took an oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi , the leader of ISIL.[17] Following this pledge, ISIL supporters within ABM formed an official branch of ISIL in the region,[18] [19] known as Wilayat Sinai, the Sinai Province of the Islamic State (or ISIL-SP).[12]
Designation as a terrorist organization [ edit ]
ABM or ISIL-SP was designated a terrorist organization by Egypt,[20] the UAE,[21] the United Kingdom,[22] and the United States.[23]
Attacks [ edit ]
Attacks claimed by or attributed to ABM include:
bombing of the gas pipelines Egypt to Israel and Jordan multiple times.[24] [25]
September 2012 southern Israel cross-border attack .[10]
September 2013 assassination attempt on the minister of interior Mohamed Ibrahim Moustafa .[26]
October 2013 attack on a military intelligence building in Ismailia .[27]
November 2013, assassination of Mohamed Mabrouk, a security officer involved in the trial against Mohamed Morsi , who was shot dead outside his home in Nasr City .[28]
24 December 2013 bombing of a police compound in Mansoura , killing at least 16 people, including 14 police officers.[29]
31 January 2014, a rocket was launched from the Sinai Peninsula aimed at Eilat , Israel. The Iron Dome system intercepted the rocket.[30]
20 January 2014 attack in Eilat. No damage or injuries were reported.[31]
23 January 2014 attack on a police checkpoint in Beni Suef that killed 5 people.[32]
January 2014 Cairo bombings that took place in late January 2014,[33] though it later indicated that the Soldiers of Egypt group was behind one of the bombings.[34]
25 January 2014 shooting down of a military helicopter in the Sinai.[35]
28 January 2014 assassination of Mohamed Al-Saied (who was a member of Egypt's Interior Ministry ).[36]
31 January 2014 attempted attack on Eilat. The rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome system.[37]
16 February 2014 Taba bus bombing that killed four people, including three Korean tourists and an Egyptian bus driver.[38] The group warned all tourists to leave Egypt before 20 February 2014.[39]
2 May 2014 attacks that killed 3 people in the Sinai.[40]
on 19 July 2014 Ansar Bait al-Maqdis ambushed Egyptian army soldiers, this event is knows as the 2014 Farafra ambush
on 28 August 2014 ABM released a video showing the beheading of 4 Egyptians accused of being Mossad spies and providing Israel with intelligence.[41]
late September 2014 killing of 6 security personnel.[42]
On 8 October 2014, a faction of ABM in the Gaza Strip, calling itself the Islamic State of Gaza , launched a bomb attack on the French Cultural Center in the city of Gaza , only to issue a statement several hours later denying any responsibility for the attack.[6]
ABM released a graphic propaganda video claiming responsibility for the 24 October 2014 Sinai attacks that killed 28 soldiers northwest of the town of Arish . The group was also responsible for a drive-by shooting several hours later at a checkpoint in Arish that killed three soldiers.[43]
After November 2014, attacks by the group were claimed as those of ISIL-SP.
