Gunmen shot dead at least nine truck drivers in Egypt\u2019s Sinai region late on Thursday when they targeted a transport convoy, setting the vehicles on fire, medical and security sources said on Friday.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tEgypt\u2019s security forces have since 2014 been battling a Daesh affiliate in northern Sinai, where terrorists have mostly hit police and soldiers but also occasionally targeted infrastructure and businesses, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo security sources in Al-Arish, the area capital, said armed men attacked the convoy, which was carrying coal to a cement factory.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bodies of the truck drivers, all shot to death, were taken to the morgue of Suez public hospital, four medical sources said.<\/p>\n

\n\tA military spokesman said there was no official statement. An Interior Ministry official did not respond to a request for information.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey have threatened us repeatedly, asking that we don\u2019t work for the army\u2019s companies. We informed the factory management of the threats and asked them for more protection,\u201d one local truck driver, Ismail Abdel-Raouf, said.<\/p>\n

\n\tHundreds of police and soldiers have been killed since terror activities quickened pace in northern Sinai in 2013.<\/p>\n

\n\tA terror group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, declared allegiance to Daesh in 2014 and has since tried to spread outside the peninsula.<\/p>\n

\n\tPresident Abdel Fatah al-Sisi has said Daesh terrorists might try to enter Libya and Egypt after their defeats in Iraq and Syria.<\/p>\n
