Islamic State claims responsibility for army attack in Egypt’s Sinai
The attack in Egypt's northern Sinai region left as many as 10 soldiers dead.
The Islamic State said today it was behind Thursday's attack that killed as many as 10 soldiers in Egypt’s northern Sinai region.
The insurgents made the claim of responsibility in their news outlet, but gave almost no detail on how the attack was carried out or who was involved, Reuters reported.
But according to a statement from Egyptian army spokesman Tamer al-Rifai, an improvised explosive device targeted a military vehicle near the southern city of Bir al-Abd.
Egypt’s Ministry of Interior condemned the attack in a brief statement today.
