Egypt's military killed 16 suspected Islamic militants in a series of airstrikes on hideouts in the northern Sinai Peninsula, a spokesman said Saturday, alleging that the fighters had ties to the ousted president's Muslim Brotherhood group. The military has been waging a wide offensive against militant groups in Sinai, where they have solidified their position since the country's 2011 uprising.
