2019-09-16
[AlAhram] Egyptian security forces have killed a group of suspected bandidos snuffies in North Sinai who were plotting to carry out a series of attacks against police and army troops in the border region, the interior ministry said.

The men were killed after they opened fire from their vehicle on security forces who approached them in the Galabana area, the ministry said in a statement.

The bandidos snuffies were found in possession of ammunition, automatic weapons and materials used in making bombs, it said.

The ministry did not reveal the number or the identity of the suspects but said all of them were killed, adding that another terrorist was killed nearby after he opened fire on security forces.

A total of four coppers were maimed in the two shootouts, it added.

The ministry released photos of bloodied bodies with their faces concealed lying on the ground.
