Increasing terror attacks in Egypt are a direct result of Daesh losing its footing in Iraq and Syria

The recent uptick in terror attacks in Egypt is a direct result of Daesh losing ground in itsIraq and Syria strongholds, Emad El Din Adib writes in El Watan. As the group weakens, offshoots in Egypt and other countries are encouraged to launch large scale attacks to re-establish its strength. Adib also suggests that Daesh fighters have escaped from cities like Mosul and Raqqa to join various splinter groups. This makes it imperative we step up our anti-terror game and revise old strategies are now ineffective, Al Masry Al Youm’s Amr El Shobaky says.
