The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a militant attack on a police checkpoint in Egypt’s Suez Canal city of Ismailia that killed at least four people, including three police.
The extremist group claimed the attack in a statement late Saturday carried by its Amaq news agency.
The attack took place Friday afternoon when armed militants opened fire on police in Ismailia. At least 12 people, mostly conscripts, were wounded in the attack.
The dead included three police officers and a still unidentified person, according to a hospital tally document obtained by The Associated Press.
The state-run al-Qahera News television station reported that security forces killed one of the attackers.
Egypt has been battling IS in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula for years. The militants have carried out numerous attacks in Sinai and elsewhere in the country mainly targeting security forces, minority Christians and those who they accuse of collaborating with the military and police.

My parents went to see the pyramids in the 1990s. My mother also took a camel ride to the top of Mount sinai. The threat to tourism by radical elements within Egypt has always been there. When my mom and dad took a bus from Egypt to the Israeli border, there was a police car with lights and siren in front of the bus and there was an armed officer inside the bus.
My parents were amazed at how armed this really checkpoint was. Tanks, soldiers and armored vehicles were at the official checkpoint.

Twice my parents went to Egypt and to israel. In one picture, my mother was with my father walking with a cross on the same path Jesus did to his crucifixion and in the lower picture come up my mom and my aunt walked the same route after my father passed away in 2002.

The middle east has been plagued by violence forever. Is there ever going to be peace there? I fear not.
