Egypt security forces kill 14 terrorists involved in Al-Arish attack
2019-06-07
[AlAhram] Egypt’s security forces killed 14 terrorist elements Wednesday in pursuit of those involved in an attack against a security checkpoint earlier in North Sinai’s El-Arish city, the Egyptian interior ministry announced.
"kill" is good
According to a ministry statement, security forces managed to locate the preparators in an abandoned house they used as a hideout in a remote area in El-Arish city.

The statement added that as soon as the suspects realised that security forces had besieged them, they opened fire.

Fourteen automatic rifles and three bombs were found in the hideout, the statement read.

High State Security is currently investigating the incident.

Early Wednesday morning, eight Egyptian coppers were killed in an attack against a security checkpoint south of El-Arish.

Five terrorist elements were killed in the shootout between the coppers and the attackers while the rest expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.

Late Wednesday, an Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
affiliated group in North Sinai grabbed credit in an online statement, claiming that 10 coppers were killed in two attacks: one at a checkpoint south of El-Arish and another at a checkpoint in a "nearby area."
