The Islamic State of Sinai has officially claimed responsibility for a brutal attack that occurred in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia. The ambush resulted in the deaths of three police officers and one civilian, with another 12 people being wounded in the attack.
According to Egyptian State run media al-Qahera News, security forces killed at least one of the attackers.
Egypt has been conducting combat operations against ISIS in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula quite a while now. We've even blogged a good chunk of the combat footage against the group that has been released by the Egyptian Ministry of Defense. The group has carried out a large number of guerilla terror attacks in both Sinai and the rest of Egypt with a majority of their attack targeting Egyptian security ofrces and minority Christians.
