None
Egyptian security officials say a truck driver drove through a checkpoint in this northern Sinai city, killing three soldiers and badly injuring a fourth as they slept in their tent. The officials said Saturday that the man drove through a checkpoint while exiting the city of el-Arish, chasing away the soldiers manning it.
The truck then swerved toward a roadside tent, killing three sleeping soldiers and badly injuring a fourth. The officials said the driver is in custody. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. (AP)
