Unknown assailants shoot dead police colonel, conscript in Egypt's Giza Following the attack, security checkpoints have been set up throughout the area in an attempt to catch the assailants
Unknown assailants shot dead Saturday a police colonel along with a conscript in their police vehicle while exiting the colonel's farm, a security source said, reported the MENA state news agency. Following the attack, security checkpoints have been set up throughout the area in an attempt to catch the assailants. It was not immediately clear if the attack had criminal or political motivations. Egypt has been battling an Islamist insurgency, mainly based in the North Sinai region, that has killed hundreds of police and troops since the 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi. Militant group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, which swore allegiance to the militant Islamic State group in November 2014, has claimed responsibility for some of the deadliest attacks in Egypt. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/180480.aspx
