Egypt Foils ISIS Suicide Attack near Suez

Egyptian soldiers prevented another deadly Islamic State (ISIS) suicide attack on Wednesday, according to military sources.

A suicide bomber drove a vehicle loaded with explosives towards a military post between Cairo and Suez when the vehicle was destroyed. Egypt did not explain if its soldier actually foiled the attack or if a malfunction in the vehicle or explosives caused the blast that killed the driver.

The Sinai Province, the new name used by ISIS-linked forces in the Sinai, tweeted that it was behind the attempted car bombing of soldiers.
