Egyptian jihadist group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis denied Sunday that Shadi al-Menei has been killed, after security sources identified him as its leader and said he had died in an ambush. The group also denied Menei was its leader, in a statement published on Islamist militant Internet forums accompanied by a picture of him reading a report about his "death" on a laptop. Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, based in the Sinai Peninsula, has spearheaded attacks that killed hundreds of policemen and soldiers since July last year when the army ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.
