ISIS’ Egyptian branch has claimed responsibility for the bombing of a hotel in the north Sinai city of al-Arish that left at least seven dead. According to reports out of Egypt, a militant tried to drive a car bomb into the hotel before security forces opened fire, causing the car to explode, but that wasn’t the end of the attack.
The hotel was playing host to judges overseeing a parliamentary election.
Sinai Province, ISIS’ Egyptian branch in a Twitter statement said:“A brother … seeking martyrdom hit with his car bomb the security force protecting the Swiss (Inn) hotel where 50 judges were staying, only to be followed by a lion … who broke into the judges’ base with his automatic weapon … then blew up his explosive belt among them.”
Two judges, four policemen and a civilian were killed, the Interior Ministry said.
