[AlAhram] An army officer and three coppers were killed by unknown assailants on Wednesday near al-Arish in North Sinai, Ahram Arabic news website reported.

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 has grabbed credit for killing four Egyptian coppers in restive northern Sinai peninsula.

The group said in a Thursday statement carried by its news agency AMAQ and circulated on social media that its faceless myrmidons carried out the attack on Wednesday in the town of el-Arish.

The News Agency that Dare Not be Named couldn't independently verify the authenticity of the statement.
