{{An Egyptian militant group has claimed responsibility for twin suicide bombings that killed three people and wounded eight on Friday in the southern Sinai Peninsula.}}<\/p>\n
In a statement posted on Sunday on militant websites, al-Qaeda inspired group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis warned the Egyptian army “we will not rest until we achieve retribution for the blood and honour of the Muslims”.<\/p>\n
In the first attack, a suicide bomber blew himself up in front of a bus carrying workers, killing one and wounding three. <\/p>\n
Another bomber blew himself up at an army checkpoint, killing a soldier and a civilian passer-by and wounding five others.<\/p>\n
The group urged the Egyptian people to “rebel against this oppressive and tyrannical regime” and not resort only to peaceful opposition movements. <\/p>\n
