Gunmen Shoot Dead 2 Egypt Policemen
2014-05-20
[AnNahar] Gunmen rubbed out two Egyptian coppers on Monday in the central city of Minya as they were heading home, the interior ministry said.

Militant attacks targeting coppers have risen since the army ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator...
in July last year.

The two coppers, riding on a cycle of violence, were rubbed out on the Minya-Assiut highway, the ministry said.

The attack comes just days ahead of the May 26-27 presidential election, which former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sissi who ousted Morsi is expected to win.

In April, a court in Minya triggered an international outcry after sentencing to death around 700 Morsi supporters after a speedy mass trial, accusing them of murder and attempted murder of coppers in August last year in Minya.
