Egypt ... another country where a civil war is brewing

I have said it before and I will say it again.  Egypt's third uprising will be the bloodiest of all.  It's extremely difficult to get rid of  islamists in Egypt because they are in their millions there.

Al Arabiya news outlet says 31 dead, whereas AP reports 21 killed.

From AlArabiya:
Gunmen killed 31 Egyptian soldiers on Saturday during an attack on a border checkpoint in Egypt’s western desert region near Libya, security officials said, in one of the most deadly attacks since President Mohammad Mursi’s ouster last year.

The attack took place in the western desert governorate of Wadi al-Gedid, on the Farafra Oasis Road, located close to the Libyan border...........
