| 2014-11-01 |
| [AnNahar] Seven Egyptian soldiers were maimed Friday in an kaboom near El-Arish, a week after a deadly attack in the same area of the Sinai peninsula killed 30 soldiers, a security official said. "Two officers and five soldiers were maimed in a bomb kaboom against their vehicle south of El-Arish," the capital of North Sinai province, the source said. The bomb had been planted on a road used by army patrols and police. On October 24, a jacket wallah killed 30 soldiers in the Sinai bordering the Gazoo Strip. Egyptian authorities on Wednesday began demolishing houses along its border with the Paleostinian territory to set up a buffer zone. Last week's attack was the deadliest targeting the security forces since the army toppled Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in July last year. |
