A car bomb exploded in the Karam Al-Qawadees neighbourhood in Shiekh Zwied, Sinai on Friday afternoon, killing at least 23 police officers and injuring 20, state-owned Al-Ahram reported. "The explosion just took place, we are looking into our paperwork and are still unsure of how many injuries and deaths we have," said military spokesperson Mohmed Samir. He added that they are "keeping track of who committed this terrorist operation". Over the past several months, confrontations between the military and what they call "terrorist groups" have been frequent.
