[IsraelTimes] Egyptian police potted three alleged Islamist faceless myrmidons in a shootout and incarceratedDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! nine belonging to the Lewaa al-Thawra ![]() group that assassinated an army general last year, the country’s Interior Ministry says. Lewaa al-Thawra surfaced in 2016 to claim several attacks in Cairo, including the liquidation of an army brigadier general outside his suburban home in October. Police have accused the blacklisted Moslem Brüderbund movement of ousted president Mohammed Morsi of directing the group. The interior ministry says police carried out raids against members of the group in the provinces of Cairo, Giza, Beheira, and Kafr el-Sheikh. In one of the raids in Beheira on a hideout used to make bombs the suspects opened fire as police approached, triggering a shootout in which three "Brotherhood terrorist elements" were killed, the ministry says. It does not say when the raids occurred. |
