Cairo: Two headless bodies were found in a village in Egypt’s restive North Sinai region on Saturday, police said, the latest in a series of beheadings allegedly carried out radical militants.

The bodies of two men, believed to be civilians in their 30s, were found near the town of Sheikh Zuweid.

It was not immediately clear who had killed them.

Egypt’s deadliest organization, Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, has previously claimed several beheadings of men it said were working for the Egyptian Army or Israel’s Mossad spy agency.

The Sinai-based group, which last year pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, has regularly released video footage showing the executions of alleged informants, often by beheading.
