The Egyptian army thwarted seven terrorist attempted attacks on army personnel in North Sinai's Sheikh Zuweid city, al-Bawaba News reported Sunday. A security source said that the army defused seven improvised explosive devices, which were planted by militants on a road in Sheikh Zuweid. Since September 2013, the Egyptian army has been carrying out an ongoing military campaign against terrorist groups in Sinai after they had claimed responsibility for several attacks targeting Egyptian military and police personnel.
