Two bombs detonate in Egypt's Sinai, no casualties reported Two bombs and a drive-by shooting target security and army in restive Sinai Peninsula on Sunday
Two bombs planted by suspected Islamist militants detonated without reported casualties on Sunday in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, near the border with Israel, state news agency MENA reported. The first bomb was placed near a military armoured vehicle in the north Sinai city of Rafah shortly before midnight. The second was left earlier in the day on the international highway connecting the cities of Rafah and Al-Arish, where at least 25 Egyptian policemen were ambushed and killed last week by Islamist militants. Egyptian authorities continue to comb the area in search of explosives. In a separate attack in north Sinai on Sunday, gunmen in the town of Sheikh Zuweid exchanged fire with security personnel in a drive-by shooting at a security checkpoint. No injuries were reported there either. Attacks by suspected Islamistmilitants on police and military sites in the lawless north Sinai region have spiked since the overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi on 3 July. Dozens of security and army personnel have been killed in drive-by shooting and rocket attacks. Egypt's army said on Friday it killed 78 suspected militants, including 32 foreigners, in recent crackdown operations in the peninsula. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/79932.aspx
