3 Egyptian policemen die in blast 33 injured
(MENAFN- Arab News) CAIRO: A bomb struck a bus carrying Egyptian policemen Monday killing three and wounding 33 officials said in the latest attack against security forces who are being targeted by radicals.
The attack occurred in the Nile Delta province of Baheira 260 km north of Cairo while the policemen were travelling on a civilian bus to work.
'Three policemen were killed including one who succumbed to his wounds in hospital' Health Ministry spokesman Hossam Abdel Ghaffar told AFP updating an earlier toll.
'Thirty-three policemen were also wounded. One of them remains in a critical condition.'
Radicals have killed scores of policemen and soldiers since an insurgency swelled in the wake of the 2013 overthrow of President Muhammad Mursi.
Radicals say their attacks are in retaliation for a police crackdown targeting Mursi supporters that has left hundreds dead and thousands jailed.
With his security forces battling to contain the insurgency President Abdel Fattah El-Sissi last week ratified an anti-terrorism law boosting police and judicial powers.
