Militants kidnapped three pro-government tribal fighters manning a checkpoint in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Thursday, in an attack claimed by State of Sinai militants. Two fighters from a tribal militia at the checkpoint were also wounded in the attack in the North Sinai town of Sheikh Zuweid. The "Sinai Province", Egyptian affiliate of the Islamic State group, claimed the attack on a Twiiter account, saying a number of tribal fighters were killed. Its claim could not be independently verified. |
