One security officer and seven others were killed in two successive explosions around security areas in Egypt's Sinai region, near the border with Israel, the Interior Ministry and security officials said. Egypt has been hit by an Islamist insurgency led by Sinai-based militants, who have mainly targeted security forces since last year's army ouster of elected Islamist President Mohamed Mursi. The Interior Ministry said seven people were killed and around 25 others were injured in an explosion. Security sources said the rocket was targeting North Sinai's main security compound but instead fell in front of a nearby crowded supermarket in Sinai's northern city of Al-Arish.
