Egyptian Jihadist group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, released a videotape Tuesday showing the execution of two alleged army informers in Sinai, according to the group's statement on twitter. The video showed two handcuffed men admitting their cooperation with the Egyptian military. The militants then shot them dead amid a wave of Takbir (exclamations of Allahu Akbar) and vowed to launch more attacks on Egyptian armed forces. Since the ousting of former Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013, Egypt has witnessed an escalating militant insurgency by Jihadist groups, especially in North Sinai. Scores of policemen and soldiers have been killed. Beit al-Maqdis is an Egyptian militant organization allied with the Islamic State group, which has now declared itself as the Sinai Province of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). ISIL has been posting videos of violent beheading and mass executions on twitter since last June when it stormed the Iraqi northern province of Mosul and declared what it calls the "caliphate in Iraq and Syria."
