DHAKA: Car bombs have hit Egypt’s intelligence headquarters in the Sinai peninsula, killing four people

Egypt’s state TV says, reports the BBC.

More than 10 people were wounded in the attack on the building in Rafah, on Egypt’s border with the Gaza Strip.

The bombings came after at least nine Islamist militants were killed in a major military offensive in Sinai.

Sinai has seen a sharp increase in militant attacks since the army ousted Islamist president Mohammed Mursi in early July.
