Gunmen on Wednesday opened fire on the car of a senior military commander in Egypt’s restive Sinai peninsula, the army spokesman said, a day after two people died in an attack by militants on a security checkpoint.
The car of the second field army chief “came under heavy fire, which led to clashes between security forces and the terrorist elements,” the spokesman said in a statement.
