Another terrorist attack in Egypt

Another terrorist attack occurred today in Egypt. The center of his activity, the militants chose the sinai peninsula. Recall that in sinai the strong positions of the terrorist group "Islamic State" (*banned in russia). All efforts of the local security forces to eliminate the terrorist threat at the moment are futile. This time terrorists affiliated with ISIS (*) the group "Ansar beit al-mahdi" (*) attacked a convoy of trucks that went from one of the plants located in the central part of the sinai peninsula.

The attack was an ambush. In the attack at least 10 people, including soldiers, were killed. Noted that among the dead were officers. One of them – colonel ibrahim hussein mohammad. Local media publish materials, which states that the column was opened heavy fire from grenade launchers and small arms.

As a result, seven of the trucks was completely burned. A military convoy simply has not had time to organize any resistance to the terrorists. In the hands of militants got weapons that belonged to the convoy. If you believe the official reports of the ministry of defense of Egypt, the trucks carried cement. Recall that a few weeks ago, the Egyptian army units tried to destroy the core of the terrorist group in the sinai. For this region was deployed several military units, including special forces.

However, the operation was a fiasco, as the militants before received information about the nomination of the column. A few dozen Egyptian soldiers were killed in the shelling by terrorists in an ambush such as this.
