Egypt Insurgency Grows As Islamists Demonstrate Ability To Attack Despite Crackdown
Three major attacks took place Monday across Egypt, a day after clashes between the supporters of ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi left 53 dead and 271 wounded, according to the state media.
Suspected guerrillas killed six Egyptian soldiers on patrol near the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, according to security officials, who said gunmen opened fire on the soldiers while they were sitting in a car at a checkpoint near the city on the Canal, a vital global trade route.
Soon afterwards, in the southern Sinai town of Al-Tor, three people were killed and 48 injured in a massive car bomb targeting security headquarters.
The Egyptian daily Al-Masry al-Youm reported that it was a suicide attack.
And in southern Cairo, assailants fired rocket-propelled grenades at a state satellite station.
