| 2013-07-16 |
| Militants killed at least three people Monday and wounded 17 when they fired on a bus carrying workers in the North Sinai town of Al Arish, security and medical sources said. Military spokesman Colonel Ahmed Aly said in a statement that a “terrorist group” had been targeting a police vehicle but hit the workers’ bus by mistake. “The bus was attacked with a rocket-propelled grenade near Al Arish airport. Three people died and 17 were injured in the attack,” a security official said. A medical source confirmed the toll, adding that “many of those injuries are critical.” The bus was carrying workers from a cement factory. The attack came hours after gunmen clashed with the Egyptian army. The fighting broke out in the area of Al Wifaq, in northern Sinai, after militants tried unsuccessfully to blow up a police vehicle with explosives. |
