Egypt militant group killed US oil worker
(MENAFN- Arab News) CAIRO: An Egyptian militant organization allied with the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the killing of an American oil worker.
Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis which now refers to itself as the Sinai Province said on Twitter late Sunday that it killed William Henderson. It published pictures of his passport and two identification cards. It did not say when or how it killed him.
The passport said he was a 58-year-old from Texas and his identification cards said he worked for Texas-based energy company Apache Corp. and Qarun Petroleum Co. a joint venture with Egypt.
Apache said in August that one of its supervisors had been killed in an apparent carjacking in Egypt's Western Desert. The company did not identify the man.
The Enid News & Eagle in northwestern Oklahoma published an obituary for a man named William Henderson in August saying he had 'passed suddenly' while working in Egypt. It said he had worked for Apache for 28 years and was 58 when he died.
The US Embassy refused to comment on the militant group's claim and Apache could not immediately be reached for comment.
Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis a Sinai-based group has carried out scores of attacks mainly targeting Egyptian security forces particularly since the July 2013 overthrow of President Muhammad Mursi.
