| [Iran Press TV] Egyptian military forces have killed eleven turbans during separate shoot-outs in the restive Sinai Peninsula. The gunnies were killed on Sunday, when Egyptian troops clashed with them during a raid in north Sinai, the army said on Monday. Egyptian soldiers also destroyed three cars and eight cycle of violences belonging to the "terrorist elements" in the firefight. Sinai Peninsula has long been considered as a safe haven for gunnies who use the region as a base for their acts of terror. Since the ouster of former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi on July 3 last year, gunnies have launched almost daily attacks on the peninsula, killing members of security forces. |
