Al-Jazeera reporter held

Earlier on Wednesday, AlJazeera reported that an attack had targeted policemen in the town of Belbeis, northeast of Cairo. Other media said a police station had been fired on, quoting witnesses and security sources, but the Interior Ministry later issued a denial, which Al-Jazeera also carried.

Twin suicide attacks targeting security personnel rocked Sinai near the Gaza Strip but caused no casualties on Wednesday.
