CAIRO
— A girl’s heroic story has won the hearts of the Egyptian people, to the extent that they are demanding the government to protect and care for her.

They have also asked that she is provided with a residence and granted a monthly pension. 
The girl, Mariam Abduljalil Al-Asawi, reported members of her family to authorities. She reported her father, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, and her mother and brother, who are both Daesh (the so-called IS) members, she said.

Asawi also revealed insight on other terrorist cells belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood. The cells, run by her father, were commissioned to carry out terrorist operations by Brotherhood leaders on-the-run.

Speaking to Al Arabiya.net, Asawi said that she presented security with footage which illustrate her father’s involvement in the assassination of a military officer and police.
Similarly, Asawi provided evidence on her mother’s involvement in providing logistical support to Daesh and Brotherhood cells in Sinai. 
Asawi stressed that a majority of the Brotherhood’s youth joined Daesh. They formed various cells to carry out terrorist organizations in Sinai and other governorates.

She also said that her father was responsible for the uprising dissolved in August 2013. The uprising was organized by the Flag Party, which belongs to former presidential candidate Hazem Saleh Abu Ismail. The party is also funded by the Brotherhood.

As such, her father was arrested for being involved in the assassination of army and police officers three years ago.

Asawi provided pictures and several details on meetings her father held with Brotherhood and Daesh elements in their own house.

According to Asawi, her father stored weapons in the house. She explained that the Brotherhood would send him money and he would designate a task to each concerned element.

She also revealed key passwords that the elements exchange amongst themselves during phone calls to distract security.

Abdulrahman, Aswai’s brother, was revealed to have been involved in the Badrashin terrorist incident and many other operations. The attack resulted in the death of several police officers.

Awasi noted that her brother and his colleagues would take drugs before carrying out any terrorist operations.

She also provided important information about those involved in the Badrashin operation, top of this list is Ezzedine Al-Aswad, who security forces were recently able to locate and take down. 
Asawi explained that while her father was serving jail time, her mother would hold the meetings and delegate tasks to terrorist groups in Sinai. Consequently, her mother was influenced by Daesh ideology and became part of the terror outfit.

Asawi’s mother tortured her and threatened to kill her if she revealed any information on what happens inside their house. This is particularly due to Asawi’s refusal to participate in the meetings and join the terrorist organizations.

Asawi also refused her mother and uncles’ desire to marry her to a Daesh element.

Among the videos and details about various phone calls she provided, one was about Mohammed Ali Saad al-Hanadi. This man runs a terrorist camp in Siwa. 
In the concerned phone call, Hanadi explains how young people are recruited into Daesh, how they are smuggled in to Syria and Iraq and details about their training areas. 
Other information revealed to local security includes methods to transport Brotherhood elements in Iraq, Syria and Sudan. Various women take part in the terrorist operations from time to time. Most hide weapons and ingredients necessary to create explosives under their clothes. 
There’s an established organization of women from the Muslim Brotherhood who are trained to use weapons and fire them when necessary, explained Asawi

The girl has been living with a friend’s family for some time to stay away from her family and uncles. Security forces are also working on protecting her.

Killing is an easy task for her family, explains Asawi. It’s as if they are slaughtering chickens without mercy, religion or conscience, she added. — Al Arabiya English
