At least 11 Egyptian soldiers were killed when a car bomb hit their bus in the Sinai Peninsula, in the latest attack on security forces battling insurgents.

About 34 others were wounded when a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden car into one of two buses carrying off-duty soldiers, Mohamed Rady, a police officer at the North Sinai Security Directorate, said today by phone, citing preliminary investigations. The soldiers were traveling from the border town of Rafah to Cairo, he said.
