Egypt's Interior Ministry says 2 officers were killed along with 5 militants when Egyptian police, military and special forces clashed with Islamist militants during a raid on a reported safe house of the Sinai-based group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis just north of Cairo. The militants opened fire on security forces and set off the car bomb sparking a gun battle that lasted several hours, the Ministry said. The group has stepped up attacks on Egyptian security forces since the military ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last year.
