FILE - In this Oct. 29, 2014, file, photo, smoke rises after Egyptian army demolished houses on the Egyptian side on border town of Rafah. In a 134-page report released Tuesday, May 28, 2019, Human Rights Watch, a leading international rights group, accused Egypt’s security forces of committing widespread abuses against civilians -- some of which “amount to war crimes” -- in the Sinai Peninsula, where Egypt has been battling Islamic militants for years. The group said it documented “crimes, including mass arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, torture, extrajudicial killings, and possibly unlawful air and ground attacks against civilians.” (AP Photo/Eyad Baba, File)
