Long War Journal | Egyptian security forces have reportedly arrested a number of
jihadists operating in the Sinai Peninsula who are linked to Ramzi
Mowafi, a former physician for Osama bin Laden.
Sources have told Egyptian media outlets
that Mowafi's group has been responsible for numerous attacks in the
Sinai over the past two years. Among those recently arrested are a
Yemeni and a Palestinian who were found in the possession of maps and
laptops.
In August 2011, Egyptian security officials told CNN that
Mowafi, who is also thought to be an explosives expert, was spotted in
the Sinai. At the time, Mowafi, born in Egypt in 1952, was said to be providing military training to a number of people in the Sinai.
