A policeman died Thursday (June 30th) after sustaining injuries from an improvised explosive device (IED) that detonated in the North Sinai provincial capital of al-Arish, Egyptian media reported.
A security patrol was passing through a street in al-Arish when the roadside bomb exploded.
Four policemen sustained minor injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital.
"Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL) affiliate Wilayat Sinai has claimed responsibility for similar attacks on Egyptian security forces in the area.
