At Least 10 Injured in Sinai Attack

At least 10 people have been injured in a car bomb attack outside a restaurant in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula

At least 10 people have been injured in a car bomb attack outside a restaurant in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, security sources said. 

The explosion ripped through the town of El-Arish in northern Sinai late on Tuesday as security forces were evacuating a heavily populated area, sources said.

Law enforcement forces launched the evacuation after they suspected a stolen car parked in the area.

No group or individual has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Emergency rule has been declared in parts of northern Sinai since last month’s deadly attacks there.
