]]> A suicide bomber belonging to so-called Islamic State has killed a soldier and civilian in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

Five people were wounded in the attack.

Egyptian authorities have identified the suicide bomber as Abu Omar Seedy.

The attack in the town of Sheikh Zuweid 334 kms northeast of Cairo was aimed at an armored  vehicle near the market. A day earlier four headless bodies were found in the area.

Islamic State claim they were spies for the Egyptian military

Egypt  security forces killed the bomber before he could reach the target.

Soldiers who had tried to apprehend him were called off when his suicide vest was spotted.

Violence in the peninsula sometimes spills over onto the mainland  aimed at  civilians, particularly Christians.

]]> Islamist terrorists say they killed Christian students in north east Kenya because they were engaged in missionary work.

The gunman killed at least 16 students at Garissa university after separating and freeing their Muslim counterparts.

More than 500 students remain unaccounted for.

Al Shabab terrorists from Somalia have launched cross border raids into Kenya to avenge that country supporting the government in Mogadishu.

However it’s clear from the jihadis remarks today that they regard parts of Kenya to be under Muslim control.

President Uhuru Kenyatta reacted with fury.

He says recruitment of 10 000 new police officers will be speeded up after today’s attack on the university campus.

He urged fellow Kenyans to remain calm but gave no indication how his security forces are dealing with the situation still playing out in Garissa.
