CAIRO: At least 10 policemen were killed and 22 others injured when ISIS-linked suicide bombers rammed a garbage truck packed with explosives into an Egyptian security checkpoint, the latest attack in the restive North Sinai governorate on Monday evening.
The attack in el-Masaeed district of Al-Arish city was carried out by members of Ansar Beit el-Maqdes, a Sinai-based militant group which pledged loyality to ISIS in 2014.
However, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. The terrorists used a garbage truck, which was stolen earlier from the municipality of el-Arish. The 22 persons injured include four civilians, police said. Reports said other civilians who live near the explosion site may have been killed, but there was no confirmed numbers.
