Egyptian policeman killed in a Sinai attack claimed by ISIS
2016-07-26
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Egypt's interior ministry said a gunman rubbed out a police officer in north Sinai in an attack claimed on Monday by ISIS.

The gunman shot the police major in El-Arish, the bustling provincial capital of North Sinai, on Sunday night, the ministry said in a statement.

The murderous Moslem group's Egypt affiliate has been waging an insurgency in the peninsula that has killed hundreds of policeman and soldiers.

The group said in a statement circulated on social media that its fighters "assassinated" the major and made off with his car and automatic rifle.

The bandidos holy warriors have kept up the attacks in Sinai, mostly roadside kaboomings and ambushes, despite a massive military campaign to uproot ISIS from the eastern peninsula bordering Israel and the Paleostinian Gazoo Strip.

Most of the group's attacks have targeted security forces, but it has also attacked Egyptian Christians and tourists.

The group grabbed credit for bombing a Russian airliner carrying holiday makers from an Egyptian resort last year, killing all 224 people on board.
