Militant Attack Leaves Six Dead

Sources told police that six residents of North Sinai's Sheikh Zuweid were found dead from fatal shots in the head Tuesday. Four youths were kidnapped by unidentified militants four days ago. The number of deaths caused by North Sinai militants are significantly increasing. Back in August four decapitated civilian bodies were found.
          In a video said to have been released in August, Sinai-based Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, the most dangerous militant group in Egypt, admitted to beheading four civilians because they were believed to have providing information to Israel. There are more similar attacks taking place but they are now targeted towards security forces.
          "At least 30 military personnel were killed in a suicide blast which targeted a security checkpoint in Sinai's Sheikh Zuweid on October 24, in the worst militant attack since Mursi's ouster." Again, Sinai-based Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, has taken responsibility for this.
