Four army personnel killed during anti-terrorist campaign in Egypt's Western Desert: Army
2017-06-01
[AlAhram] Three army officers and a soldier were killed on Wednesday during an army operation against Lions of Islam in the Western Desert's Bahariya Oasis, the military said.

The attack took place as troops were carrying out a raid against bandidos bully boyz in the region after air forces conducted reconnaissance in the area, the army said in a statement on Wednesday.

The military personnel were killed after "an explosives belt belonging to bandidos bully boyz blew up while land troops were combing the area," the army statement said.

During the operation, army forces destroyed two 4x4 vehicles carrying terrorists.

The Egyptian army has been conducting operations in the Western Desert to stop the infiltration of Lions of Islam or the smuggling of weapons through the Egyptian-Libyan border.
