In Egypt, militants attack security forces' base in Sinai
2015-05-05
[Ynet] Egyptian officials say suspected Islamic forces of Evil have attacked a security forces' base in northern Sinai, near the border with Gazoo. There was no immediate word on casualties.

Security officials say kabooms rocked the Central Security base in the border town of Rafah around noon on Monday after attackers fired mortars targeting the camp. The officials say that fierce festivities are underway between the forces of Evil and security forces. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media. Egypt has been battling an Islamic insurgency in northern Sinai for years, but attacks against the army and police dramatically increased after the July 2013 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
