| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A bomb kaboom killed an Egyptian colonel and three soldiers in North Sinai on Wednesday as their armoured vehicle passed by, security officials and emergency services said. The device exploded from a distance as the vehicle was engaged in a search operation on the outskirts of quiet provincial capital El-Arish, the officials said. Another 12 soldiers were maimed in the blast, they added. Jihadists, including from an Egyptian affiliate of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria group (ISIS), have regularly attacked security forces in the peninsula since the army toppled Islamist president Mohammed Mursi in July 2013. Militants say their attacks are in retaliation for a government crackdown targeting Mursi supporters that has left hundreds dead and thousands imprisoned. The authorities say hundreds of coppers and soldiers have been killed in attacks, mainly in North Sinai, since 2013, although there have also been attacks in the Nile Delta and in Cairo.
