CAIRO — A roadside bomb killed an Egyptian police captain and a conscript Sunday in North Sinai, where security forces are fighting an insurgency, the Interior Ministry said. Sunday's attack occurred in North Sinai's provincial capital El-Arish, the ministry said in a statement. The two policemen were killed when the blast struck their passing armoured vehicle. Three others were wounded in the explosion, which was activated by remote control, police said. In the previous 24 hours the army had detonated nine explosives found on a road frequently used by troops in North Sinai, police said. — AP
