Cairo, 29 Sept. (AKI) - Egyptian police have killed two suspects in July's bomb attacks in the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. The interior ministry said security forces had killed the two men after a shoot-out in a mountainous region of the Sinai peninsula, and arrested a third. It described them as "the most dangerous fugivie suspects" in the suicide car bombings that killed at least 64 people and wounded more than 170. The men killed in the shoot-out were identified as Khalid Musaid Salem, 33, a dentist, and Tilib Murdi Soliman, 23. The third suspect, Yunis Mohammed al-Alian, 25, was arrested. The ministry did not elaborate on the alleged involvement of the three in the deadly bombings. The ministry said the security forces received a tip off that the men were on their way to meet Mussa Mohammed Salem Badran, another suspect in the bombing who was killed on Wednesday.
The hunted men reportedly opened fire, injuring an officer and three soldiers and the security forces responded, killing the two suspects and arresting the third, according to the interior ministry.
