Egypt gunmen kill five soldiers

Gunmen have killed five Egyptian soldiers near the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya, say security officials.

The gunmen opened fire on the soldiers while they were sitting in a car at a checkpoint north of the city, reports said.

Security forces have been repeatedly targeted in the area in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, a large car bomb has struck a security forces' building in Sinai, officials said. Two people are reported to have died.
