By Ashley Lindsey and Scott Stewart Since the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in 2011 and especially since the coup that removed Mohammed Morsi from the same post in 2013, Egypt has become a much more fertile ground for jihadist groups. The most prominent name in Egyptian jihad at the moment is Ansar Beit al-Maqdis , a fact underscored by the group's Jan. 24 massive vehicle bomb attack against the Cairo Security Directorate and a separate bombing against the Radobis movie theater in Giza. But Ansar Beit al-Maqdis was not the only Egyptian jihadist group to launch attacks that day.
