Gunmen kill two policemen in North Sinai drive-by shooting

Unknown gunmen killed two policemen in North Sinai’s Sheikh Zoueid on Friday.

The gunmen attacked a police vehicle carrying a brigadier-general and his son, a police officer, a security source told Aswat Masriya.

Security forces fired back at the gunmen who managed to escape, the source said.

The armed forces have been launching crackdowns in various cities to arrest militant extremists that target police and army elements in Sinai since former President Mohamed Mursi’s ouster in July 2013.
