Muslim Brotherhood: “Israel” Connected To Sinai attack

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt stated that the attack against the Egyptian military base in Sinai on Sunday “could be attributed to the “Israeli” Mossad”, adding that this attack aims at foiling the efforts of the newly elected Islamic Egyptian President, Mohammad Morsi and his cabinet.

In a statement on its Webpage, the Brotherhood said that “Israel” is trying to foil the achievements of the Egyptian revolution that removed former President, Hosni Mubarak, from power, adding that “this attack pushes all related sides into reconsidering the articles of the Egyptian-“Israeli” peace agreement”.
It said that after the Egyptians conducted their revolution, several groups tried to abuse the situation in order to sabotage the achievements of this revolution, and started plotting against the country and its people.

“Yesterday, a group of criminals attacked our policemen, killed nearly twenty soldiers, brothers, in an ugly crime, before the criminals managed to hijack two armored vehicles and drove them towards the border”, the Brotherhood said, “immediately after the attack, Zionist media agencies accused fighters in Gaza of being behind the criminal attack; the timing of the attack comes to create a rift between Gaza and Egypt”.

The Brotherhood also said that the attack aims at proving the failure of the new Egyptian government that was only formed three days ago, and “to foil the reform agenda of the newly elected Islamic president”.

“This crime carries the signature of the “Israeli” Mossad as “Israel” has been trying to sabotage the achievements of the revolution, especially when taking into consideration that just a few days before this attack was carried out, “Israel” called on its tourists to leave Sinai”, the Brotherhood added.

The Islamic Brotherhood further called on the Egyptian people to counter the criminal activities collaborators, and to stand with the newly elected president in his efforts to restore law and order, and to maintain a strong security situation.
