3 killed in attack on bus carrying workers in Sinai

At least three people were killed and 17 wounded early on Monday in Egypt's North Sinai province when suspected militants used rocket-propelled grenades to attack a bus carrying workers employed at a cement factory, security and medical sources said.

They said the bus was fired on in the city of El Arish, at the centre of a sharp rise in Islamist militant attacks in the lawless region bordering Israeland the Gaza Strip since Egypt's President Mohamed Mursi was ousted by the military on July 3. (Reuters)
