Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Egypt's most active terrorist group, has sworn allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS), Reuters reported on Monday.
The group had previously told Reuters that it sought inspiration and advice from Islamic State, which has taken over swathes of Iraq and Syria.
"After entrusting God we decided to swear allegiance to the emir of the faithful Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, caliph of the Muslims in Syria and Iraq and in other countries," the group said in a statement quoted by Reuters.
