Egypt armed forces kill 32'criminals' in Sinai: officialAFP CAIRO--Egypt's armed forces have killed 32 “criminal elements” in an ongoing operation against Islamists in the lawless Sinai peninsula, a military spokesman said on Saturday.

Some of the non-Egyptians had been arrested on drugs charges, he told reporters. “The operation will continue until its goals have been achieved... These are not just military goals but also developmental goals for the Sinai,” Ali said.
