EL-ARISH, Egypt - Egyptian officials say a suicide bomber has rammed his explosives-laden car into the security headquarters in a border town in Sinai, killing at least one person.
The security officials say the front of the one-story building in the town of Rafah has collapsed and that an unspecified number of troops and policemen are buried underneath.
They say the bomber drove into the building at high speed on Wednesday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

Massacre his supporters.
What did they expect? (I suspect they expected just this kind of thing and will use it to their advantage.)
