Egypt Soldiers Killed in Ismailiya and Sinai Attacks

At least nine soldiers and police officers have been killed in two separate attacks last Monday. In southern Sinai, a car bomb killed three police officers and injured 40 more. Hours later, gun man in just outside of the Suez Canal shot and killed six other officers in a car. Along with this attack, a government run satellite station was hit by rockets, causing damage to a satellite dish. No one has claimed responsibility for these attacks. On Sunday, dozens more were killed from an Islamist based clash. Thousands of Mohammad Morsi followers also began to revolt against the security forces in Cairo. But the police have cracked down on 38 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, who were found carrying masks, petrol filled bombs, and firecrackers. The brotherhood fired not only on police, but surrounding citizens and property. The continuing attacks in Sinai show that there is probably a fully fledged insurgency building in this area. Experts believe that this area attracts militants, along with an easy passage for weapon shipments from Libya.
