New Militant Group in Cairo Threatens to Carry Out Terror Attacks

A new militant group calling itself the "Helwan Brigades" recently threatened to carry out terror attacks in Egypt. The masked militants filmed in the video wielded weapons and said: "Our message to [the Interior Ministry] is that you are our targets."


Following are excerpts from the video-clip, which was posted on the Internet on August 16, 2014:


Helwan Brigades member: We are fed up with the peacefulness of the Muslim Brotherhood. We are no Muslim Brotherhood. We are fed up with their peaceful demonstrations. When we go on demonstrations, blood is shed, women are raped, and property is stolen.


This is a warning to the Interior Ministry in south Cairo. This is what we have throughout south Cairo. Our message to you is that you are our targets because of what you have done to us. You did not spare us. You did not care that we are your brothers. You have shed blood, raped women, and even got the women of Muslims pregnant.


None of you opposed this or was held accountable, because you support a coup. Your army is the Camp David army, which for 60 years [fought] the Muslims, but did not shoot a single bullet at the Jews.

Helwan Brigades member: We will not be peaceful with the Interior Ministry.


Other militants: We will not be peaceful with the Interior Ministry.


Helwan Brigades member: We will not be peaceful with the Interior Ministry.


Other militants: We will not be peaceful with the Interior Ministry.


Helwan Brigades member: Say: “Allah Akbar.”


Other militants: Allah Akbar.


Helwan Brigades member: Say: “Allah Akbar.”


Other militants: Allah Akbar.


Helwan Brigades member: We are doing it for the sake of Allah.


Other militants: We are doing it for the sake of Allah.
