| 2013-07-19 |
| [Al Ahram] The Egyptian army has killed ten "Islamist bad boys" in North Sinai over the last 48 hours, a security source told state news agency MENA on Thursday. The army has reinforced its security presence in North Sinai due to an increase in bad boy activity since the removal of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi. A number of heavy machine guns have been moved to the region. On Wednesday, three officers were killed and two injured in an attack by Islamist bad boys. Last week, at least ten police and army personnel were killed in separate attacks. The army recently announced it had discovered 39 new tunnels being used to smuggle goods between Egypt and the Gazoo Strip. |
