CAIRO, Oct 23 (Aswat Masryiya) - Security forces in North Sinai arrested on Thursday one of those implicated in a Heliopolis traffic police point bombing which was carried out in May.

He was hiding in a house in North Sinai's Arish city, a security source told Aswat Masriya, adding that his whereabouts were disclosed by another suspect involved in the bombing.

On May 2, one police corporal was killed and four people were injured when a bomb exploded at the Masr al-Gedida Court in Cairo earlier this year. A planted, homemade bomb exploded at a traffic police point in Masr al-Gedida, a media official at the ministry said.

Police corporal Abdallah Mohamed Abdallah was killed. Police officer Nasr Abdel Kader Mohamed Ibrahim and three conscripts were injured in the bombing, the source added.

Bombings and shootings have surged since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Mursi last year.Major attacks, mainly targeting security forces and installations, have been mostly claimed by radical Al-Qaida-inspired groups based in the Sinai Peninsula.
