Two Egyptian soldiers, 5 militants killed in North Sinai shootout: Military
[AlAhram] Five bandidos Lions of Islam and two Egyptian soldiers were killed on Wednesday in an exchange of gunfire following a failed attack on a military checkpoint in the restive North Sinai, Egypt's army said in a statement.

The shootout took place after a bad boy wearing an boom belt attempted to storm the checkpoint before he was killed by security forces, military front man Tamer El-Rifaei said in the statement.

A number of bandidos Lions of Islam expeditiously departed at a goodly pace of the shootout.

Earlier this week, 15 coppers were killed after a bomb struck a police convoy near the North Sinai capital of Arish, anonymous sources told al-Ahram Arabic news website. The interior ministry has not provided a specific corpse count.
Ynet adds:
Security officials said the attack took place just outside the border town of Rafah and that the two conscripts died when the jacket wallah went kaboom!.
