VOA :The Interior Ministry says the secretive organization called itself the Victorious Sect, and its targets included tourist sites, religious leaders, and a natural gas pipeline.On Good Friday “insane people” were captured after stabbing Christians while yelling, “There is no god but Allah!” Now on Wednesday a cell of Islamic Radicals is taken down. And they guy calls himself Abu Musab? Coincidence?A ministry spokesman, Major General Abdel-Karim, told VOA that all 22 members of the group have been arrested.
He says, this group was planning and organizing to conduct a number of terrorist operations, attacking some economic and tourist targets in greater Cairo. They were also targeting some religious figures, both Muslim and Christian, to create a split in Egyptian society.
The ministry says the secretive organization used code names and was led by a 26-year-old student named Ahmed Mohamed Ali Gabr, also known as Abu Musab. The ministry says his second-in-command is a preacher.
The general says the men used the Internet to research how to make explosives and poisons. He did not say whether they were successful in actually making them.
