2 headless bodies found in Egypt’s Sinai

Two headless bodies were found in a village in Egypt’s restive North Sinai region on Saturday, police says, the latest in a series of beheadings allegedly carried out by jihadists.

The bodies of two men, believed to be civilians in their 30s, were found near the town of Sheikh Zuweid.

It was not immediately clear who had killed them.

Egypt’s deadliest jihadist organization, Ansar Beyt al-Maqdis, has previously claimed several beheadings of men it said were working for the Egyptian army or Israel’s Mossad spy agency.
