A militant group in Egypt has claimed the killing of six policemen in a roadside bomb in the Sinai Peninsula, where security forces frequently clash with jihadists.
Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis (Partisans of Jerusalem) have orchestrated a string of attacks to avenge a deadly government crackdown on supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.
The al-Qaeda-inspired group posted a video late Tuesday on Twitter showing the bombing hours earlier of a security convoy on a road between the North Sinai provincial capital el-Arish and Rafah on the Gaza border.
An armored personnel carrier is seen flying into the air while a militant shouts “Allahu Akbar.”
The video was also posted on YouTube along with the group’s logo of a black flag, an AK-47 assault rifle and an open Koran.
