'Izzies' destroy two tombs in Timbuktu, and now are targeting the great Pyramids of Egypt....now do you believe the Jihadists and the Izzies are one of the same; destroyers of all things non-Muslim?

About a dozen militants arrived
in an armored four-wheel drive truck, armed with pickaxes and hoes.
They fired in the air to intimidate people and started smashing the
tombs, said Ibrahim Cisse, who witnessed the scene.

"They
blocked the two main roads leading to the mausoleums. When they saw
people gathering for a ceremony nearby, they began firing shots in the
air," said another resident, Mahamad ould Ibrahim.

The
new destruction comes after attacks last week on other historic and
religious landmarks in Timbuktu that UNESCO called "wanton destruction".

Islamists of the Ansar Dine group say the centuries-old shrines of the local Sufi version of Islam are idolatrous.

Ansar
Dine and well-armed allies, including al Qaeda splinter group MUJWA,
have hijacked a separatist uprising by local Tuareg MNLA rebels and now
control two-thirds of Mali's desert north, territory that includes the
regions of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu.

They
have destroyed at least eight of 16 listed mausoleums in the city,
together with a number of tombs and a sacred door at Sidi Yahya mosque,
in their campaign to erase traces of what they regard as un-Islamic
idolatry.
