Egyptian security forces captured on Sunday the leader of an al-Qaeda-inspired cell in the Sinai peninsula that was behind attacks on police and on a gas pipeline that delivers fuel to Israel and Jordan, a senior security official said. According to the AP, Mohammed Eid Muslih Hamad, also known as "El-Tihi", was arrested without resistance in the northern Sinai town of el-Arish.
El-Tihi was also being investigated in connection to an August series of attacks into southern Israel, the official said.
