Group: Egyptian ex-army officer was suicide bomber
None
An ex-Egyptian army officer carried out the suicide bombing last month that unsuccessfully targeted the country's interior minister, a video posted online Saturday by al-Qaeda-inspired militants claims.
Military officials reached by The Associated Press declined to comment on the video posted in the name of the Ansar Jerusalem militant group, which has carried out other attacks in the country's lawless Sinai Peninsula. But it comes as security officials already sacked one police officer over alleged ties with Islamists as turmoil persists over the country's July 3 military coup. (AP)
