Terrorists kill 2 in attacks in Egypt's Sinai

Two people were killed and six wounded when Islamist terrorists attacked an Egyptian security forces checkpoint late on Tuesday using rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns in the lawless North Sinai province, security sources said.

The attack came shortly after another assault in the town of Rafah, when security forces and militants exchanged gunfire. Another police checkpoint was also attacked nearby, the sources added. (Reuters)
