A picture taken on April 16, 2017 shows a general view of the Monastery of St. Catherine in Egypt’s south Sinai, where a policeman was killed and three others wounded on April 18, 2017 when gunmen opened fire on a checkpoint near the monastery, the interior ministry said, in an attack claimed by Islamic State jihadists.

Security forces returned fire, wounding some of the attackers and “forcing them to flee”, it said.
