Tawheed and Jihad are believed to have killed 34 people in tourist resorts in South Sinai in 2004 and 2005. Tawheed and Jihad have denounced Egypt's President Mohamed Mursi, describing him as an 'infidel' despite the president belonging to Islamist party the Muslim Brotherhood. The region has become more unstable since the fall of former president Hosni Mubarak, with an attack there in August causing the deaths of 16 Egyptian soldiers.VideoVideo: 2012 Fourteen Egyptians will be executed for carrying out deadly attacks in the Sinai peninsula last year. The judge handed out the punishment of death by hanging and gave life sentences to another four men. The condemned men belong to a militant islamist group called Tawheed and Jihad. Mindful of preventing neighbouring Israel from becoming involved in the Sinai security situation, these harsh sentences are being seen as a message to militants.

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions.
