CAIRO, Jan 26 (Aswat Masriya) Four conscripts were killed and nine were injured in an armed attack by unknown assailants in Sinai on Sunday.

Attacks on conscripts in the lawless peninsula have increased since the ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July.

A security source told Aswat Masriya that the attackers were riding a truck and escaped after the shooting.

The wounded are now being transferred to the hospital.
