‘At least 70 people, mostly Egyptian soldiers, have been killed and scores of others injured in a series of attacks by Takfiri militants against military checkpoints in the country’s violence-plagued Sinai Peninsula.

Security sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said militants detonated a vehicle rigged with explosives south of the town of Sheikh Zuweid, located about 334 kilometers (214 miles) northeast of the capital, Cairo, on Wednesday, killing tens of troopers and injuring several more, Sky News Arabia satellite news network reported.

There are conflicting reports as to the exact number of slain soldiers, with some media reports putting it over 50, while others saying dozens of militants were also killed in clashes there.’
