“The attack was hailed as a success by the al-Furqan Brigades, the group that went online to take responsibility for the assault, saying it targeted the Suez Canal because of its importance as a trade route and because it ‘has become the safe way for the Crusader aircraft carriers to cross in to assault Muslims.’ In mid-August the Navy announced the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group – which includes the aircraft carrier the USS Harry S. Truman – ‘executed a safe and professional transit through the Suez Canal’ on its way from the Mediterranean to the Arabian Sea.”
