Car bomb attack kills 10 Egyptian soldiers in Sinai

Ten Egyptian soldiers were killed and 35 wounded in a car bomb attack near the North Sinai city of El-Arish on Wednesday, a security official said.

 

The attack was one of the deadliest in the Sinai Peninsula since al Qaeda-inspired militants began stepping up assaults following the army’s ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July. The soldiers were traveling in a convoy.
