CAIRO, Feb 2 (Aswat Masriya) Three Central Security conscripts were injured on Sunday in a blast in Sinai’s Rafah city, security sources said.

The source told Aswat Masriya that unknown assailants had placed an explosive device in the way of a minibus carrying conscripts on their way to vacation.

Security forces are currently searching the area for the perpetrators.

Attacks on security forces have increased since the ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July.
