Cairo - Al-Bawaba News Portal learnt from its exclusive sources that the jihadist cell of 'Mua'az Al Masry', closely connected to 'Al Qaeda' (a global terrorist group) is involved in the attack on al-Naqb checkpoint, Egypt's New Valley Governorate, which occurred late Sunday's evening and left eight Egyptian policemen killed. The sources said that such a cell may be close to Al Qaeda group, yet is simultaneously regarded as an extension of 'Ajnad Misr', or 'Soldiers of Egypt' group, which was a part of Ansar Bait al-Maqdis 'Supporters of Jerusalem in English' before its leader 'Hamam Attia' left, following differences in strategies. On 10 November 2014, many members of Ansar Bait al-Maqdis took an oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of terrorist group 'the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Within the framework of Al Qaeda new strategy, aiming to regain presence in Egypt, the sources added, upon instructions of its Egyptian spearhead "Ayman Al Dhawahri", the terroristic group drafted a plan, which was named 'Kinanah and return to Egypt' (Kinanah is an Arabic old nick name for Egypt, which indicates safety and means 'quiver' in English). The plan was initiated by a number of speeches given by Al Qaeda leader, who charged a number of its members in Egypt, Libya and Syria with setting up a new group that secretly pledges allegiance to Al Qaeda and carries out its activities in Egypt, supported by the group's branches there. The new militant group is dubbed 'Kinanah'.
