Militants have stepped up attacks targeting security forces in Egypt, particularly in the Sinai Peninsula, since the army's ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July 2013, which followed mass protests against his rule.
Ministry of Interior Spokesman Hany Abdel Lattif said that 153 policemen were killed in 2014 alone.
