Egypt's Interior Ministry Saturday announced security forces have killed four terrorists in the restive northern Sinai Peninsula, two days after a deadly attack left several policemen dead.
The ministry said in a statement that it had received information about insurgents hiding in an olive farm south of the city of el-Arish.
While hunting them down, a shootout ensued, killing the militants, who had in their possession three automatic rifles and an explosive belt, it added.
On Thursday, Egypt announced the killing of 14 militants linked to Thursday's attack that left eight policemen dead near el-Arish.
