CAIRO, April 8 (Xinhua) -- The Egyptian armed forces killed four terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula as part of the country's anti-terror operation "Sinai 2018," the Egyptian military spokesman said in a statement on Sunday. Bordering Israel and the Palestinian Gaza Strip, Egypt's North Sinai province has been the center of terrorist attacks that killed hundreds of policemen and soldiers following the military ouster of former Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013 in response to mass protests. Attacks later reached several other provinces including the capital Cairo and started to target the Coptic minority via church bombings and shootings.
