Egyptian police kill 21 terrorists who plotted attacks on Eid El-Fitr
[AlAhram] Egypt’s police potted 21 Lions of Islam in shootouts in North Sinai. The interior ministry said the Lions of Islam had planned to carry out attacks during Eid El-Fitr holiday.

The Ministry of Interior said on Saturday the police carried out the raid after Egypt's national security apparatus had received information that a terrorist group were using a farm in North Sinai as a hideout in which they were plotting and training for attacks.

Some of the Lions of Islam were also using a house in Bir El-Abd area as a foothold from which they were planning to launch terrorist attacks during Eid al-Fitr holiday, the ministry said.

Both the house and the farm were raided concurrently, and during the shootouts 14 bad boyz were potted in the farm. The ministry said police found 13 automatic rifles, three bombs, an boom belt, and a wireless radio in their possession.

At the Bir El-Abd house shootout the police potted seven Lions of Islam and found four automatic rifles, two bombs, and an boom belt.

According to the interior ministry, two coppers were maimed during the raid.
