[AlAhram] At least 13 coppers were killed in an armed attack on a checkpoint in the North Sinai city of Arish on Saturday, Egypt's interior ministry said in an official statement.

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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group grabbed credit for the attack, but said in a statement that it had deployed a jacket wallah who blew up a car at the checkpoint, which turbans then raided, according to AFP.
They also shot Kennedy. Both Kennedys. And they killed Jon Benet.
Earlier, sources told Al-Ahram Arabic's news hound that ambulances were not able to reach the site of the attack.
