They have killed hundreds of soldiers and police since 2013, when the military ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi after mass protests against his rule. Security sources also said another 26 soldiers were wounded in Friday’s attacks. The military put the casualties lower, saying the attacks had killed and wounded 26 soldiers without giving a breakdown of the figure. He blamed the attack on the Taliban, although the insurgent group had not claimed responsibility for the assault. The 1,102-pound German ST-500 bomb was found late Thursday during roadwork in Bialystok, 117 miles northeast of Warsaw.
