Blast kills six security forces in Egypt's Sinai

None

CAIRO - At least six Egyptian security force personnel were killed by a remotely detonated roadside bomb in the Sinai Peninsula on Sunday, medical and security sources said.

 

The bomb exploded as a patrol responsible for protecting a natural gas pipeline passed by, the sources said.

 

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

 

The blast occurred southwest of provincial capital Al-Arish where two policemen were killed when their patrol car was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade three days ago.
