| Sudanese Killed in Firefight with Egypt Border Guards |
| 2013-12-06 |
| [An Nahar] Four Sudanese were killed on Thursday in an exchange of fire with Egyptian border guards, security officials said, adding that 10 more were maimed. Clashes erupted between the illegal migrants and Egyptian military forces along the Egypt-Sudan border, the officials said, and the maimed were transferred to Aswan hospital. Many African migrants who enter Egypt later try to cross to Israel through Sinai, and several dozen have been killed in recent years along the 250-kilometer (155-mile) Israel-Egypt border. |
