Gunmen kill soldier in Egypt's Sinai: police official
CAIRO: Gunmen shot dead an Egyptian soldier on Sunday during an attack on a checkpoint in the restive north of Sinai, a police official said.

The attack took place near the town of El-Arish, where supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi this week stormed the provincial headquarters and raised the banner of militants.
