Gunmen kill 3 policemen in Sinai city



ISMAILIA, Egypt // Three Egyptian policemen died yesterday when gunmen fired on their car in the northern Sinai Peninsula city of Al Arish before escaping, security sources said.

Disorder has spread in Sinai since Hosni Mubarak was ousted in a popular uprising last year, with Islamist militants stepping up their attacks on security forces and the Israeli border.

Egypt's Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, has pledged to restore security in the region.

A police source said that yesterday's attackers were probably militants who Egyptian forces have been hunting since the ambush killing of 16 border guards on August 5.

Two policemen died at the scene of the attack in Al Arish, the administrative centre of North Sinai.

One of the other two injured died at the hospital later, medical and security sources said.

The August 5 attack prompted the government to send in hundreds of troops backed by tanks, armoured vehicles and helicopters in a joint operation with police to raid militant hideouts, arrest suspects and confiscate weapons.

But efforts to impose central authority in the lawless desert region are complicated by the indigenous Bedouin population's ingrained hostility to the government in Cairo.

Business Insights
  • Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
  • The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
  • US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs

How it works

Each player begins with one of the great empires of history, from Julius Caesar's Rome to Ramses of Egypt, spread over Europe and the Middle East.

Round by round, the player expands their empire. The more land they have, the more money they can take from their coffers for each go.

As unruled land and soldiers are acquired, players must feed them. When a player comes up against land held by another army, they can choose to battle for supremacy.

A dice-based battle system is used and players can get the edge on their enemy with by deploying a renowned hero on the battlefield.

Players that lose battles and land will find their coffers dwindle and troops go hungry. The end goal? Global domination of course.
