A picture uploaded on the official Facebook page of the Egyptian army spokesperson on November 20, 2013 shows a burnt-out army bus following a car bomb attack in North Sinai's provincial capital Al-ArishA car bomb in Egypt's restive Sinai killed 11 soldiers Wednesday, while another blast struck police in Cairo, in the latest in a spate of attacks following Islamist president Mohamed Morsi's ouster. The troops died when an explosives-laden car blew up next to an army bus in North Sinai's provincial capital El-Arish, a security official said. In northern Cairo, assailants hurled an explosive device at a checkpoint, wounding four policemen, including a major hit in the face and back by shrapnel, security sources said. The Sinai bombing, which also wounded 34 soldiers, was the deadliest in the region bordering Gaza and Israel since an August 19 ambush on a convoy of security forces that killed 25 policemen in the North Sinai town of Rafah.
