Egypt Uses Apaches In CI Campaign

CAIRO [MENL] -- Egypt's military has deployed its U.S.-origin Apache attack
helicopter fleet to track and destroy suspected insurgency strongholds in
the Sinai Peninsula.
Security sources said the Egyptian Air Force has deployed up to a
dozen AH-64 Apache attack helicopters in Sinai in mid-2013. They said the
Apache fleet patrols the skies of northeastern Sinai on a daily basis in
search of Al Qaida and other insurgency strongholds.
