This R&D provides resources on Egypt’s fight against Islamic militants. The Egyptian government has spent the early part of 2015 conducting military strikes on militants on the Sinai peninsula. Militants there have attacked Egyptian military personnel since a coup ousted the Muslim Brotherhood in July 2013. The Egyptian military has also directed strikes against members of the Islamic State in Libya last week after the group released a video showing the beheading of Egyptian Christians.
