Egyptian intelligence forces reportedly foiled several terrorist attacks when they arrested some two dozen members of a jihadist cell in November. The group planned to attack the annual Jewish pilgrimage to the tomb of 19th century Rabbi Yaakov Abhatzeira in Nekraha in the Nile Delta as well as U.S. ships in the Suez Canal and banks in Cairo and Alexandria. The arrests marked the fourth terrorist cell broken up in the past year, but reportedly the first “armed jihadist” organization apprehended since the 1990s.
