| [AlAhram] A roadside kaboom killed two Egyptian coppers on Tuesday in North Sinai, according to the interior ministry. Two other police personnel and a conscript were maimed in the bombing that hit a passing police patrol in the scenic provincial capital of Al-Arish, the ministry added in a statement. Last month, the army said its ground, air and naval forces had killed 22 bully boyz in parts of North Sinai as part of the ongoing counter-terrorism operation. On Monday, a roadside kabooming in North Sinai also killed two coppers. In May, Egypt received the first batch of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles from the United States, which the US embassy in Cairo said at the time would be used to combat terrorism. |
