Who is bombing Egypt's electricity towers?
The recurrent targeting of electricity towers in Egypt has increased accusations against the Muslim Brotherhood, which has wide control within the Ministry of Electricity and Energy, as some claim that they are working with terrorist groups against the current regime.
Terrorist attacks on power plants in Egypt have escalated since the ousting of Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood on July 3, 2013. Explosions took place April 15 targeting an electricity tower that provides electricity to the Egyptian Media Production City, home to the studios of many satellite stations. As a result, TV channels stopped broadcasting for almost 45 minutes.
The Al-Iqab Al-Thawri (Revolutionary Punishment) movement claimed responsibility for the attack on the power station and posted a video online. In the video, the movement threatened Egyptian journalists for supporting the current regime.
