Egyptian security forces on Saturday killed 14 terrorists in an encounter in the country’s northeast, the interior ministry said, a day after 23 Army personnel were killed in a militant attack in the restive North Sinai region.
The ministry said in a statement that the security forces raided a training camp for new recruits in Ismailia organised by terrorists who had reached there from across the country.
The new recruits were being given physical training and lessons in use of weapons at the camp, it said.
