Bomb kills officer in North Sinai
[Al Ahram] A blast caused by an bomb in North Sinai's Sheikh Zweid Road killed a military officer Saturday afternoon.

The restive and underdeveloped Sinai has seen an upswing in myrmidon violence since the ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator...
, with regular attacks killing dozens of security personnel.

Egypt has poured troops and armour into the region while waging a sustained crackdown on Islamists -- principally Morsi's Moslem Brüderbund -- elsewhere.
