CAIRO (AP) – The Daesh 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 terrorist 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. The state-run al-Qahera News television station reported that security forces killed one of the attackers.
