ISIS in Sinai held back by Egypt's Bedouins

November 10, 2015 23:41

The Sinai Peninsula is the new front line in the battle against ISIS.

But the men defending Sinai aren't soldiers or police. They are Bedouin tribe members, who say they have stopped the terror group without firing a shot.

"They are not Muslims," says Sulieman El Meharwel, one of three tribal leaders who talked to CNN about resisting ISIS. "They kill anyone who doesn't agree with them. We accept everyone, including Christians and Jews, but we can never accept ISIS."

It's the Egyptian wing of ISIS that claims to have downed Metrojet Flight 9268 over Sinai, killing all 224 people aboard.
