Egypt policeman shot dead in Sinai
Gunmen shot dead an Egyptian policeman in the restive Sinai Peninsula on Wednesday, security officials said, a day after 11 policemen were killed in a roadside bombing.

Assailants in a car gunned down the sergeant in the north Sinai town of El-Arish, the officials said.

The shooting came a day after the deadliest attack on policemen in months, when a roadside bomb that exploded near an armoured police vehicle killed an officer and 10 conscripts.
