Decapitated bodies show up in Egyptian Sinai border town
There has recently been an uptick in abduction and killing of suspected informants
Al Arish, Egypt: Egyptian security officials and witnesses say the decapitated bodies of a father and his two sons recently kidnapped by Islamist militants have been found on the street in the northern Sinai town of Rafah.
The mother of the two siblings was killed last week by Daesh group militants when they raided the family home in the village of Yamit and kidnapped the three men.
The three decapitated bodies found on Saturday were taken to hospital, where they were identified.
The officials and witnesses spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media and feared reprisals, respectively.
Daesh is spearheading an insurgency in northern Sinai, where there has recently been an uptick in the abduction and killing of suspected informants.
