Israel: Palestinian Oversaw Terror Group in Cairo
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Najib Mustafa Nizal, 33, a Palestinian who moved to Egypt in 2007 in order to found a terrorist cell, was arrested by Israel in January. He had joined Kata'ib al-Mujahideen, a terror organization, and adopted radical Islamist features. The group, which receives funding and guidance from Hamas, has committed multiple attacks on Israeli targets in the past few years, especially firing rockets at Israel and attempting to support terrorist activity on Israeli soil. Nizal confessed to the Israel Security Agency that he worked to recruit students from the West Bank who were studying in Egypt. He sent these recruits to Gaza for military training and then helped them infiltrate the West Bank.
