Egyptian border guard killed in confrontation with smugglers
Ma'an An Egyptian border guard was shot to death by smugglers near the Egypt-Israeli border on Friday night, news agencies reported. Reports conflicted as to whether the guard, twenty-one-year-old Mohammed Abdel-Ghaffar, was killed by drug traffickers or by smugglers helping African migrants enter Israel.By one account, Abdel-Ghaffar was killed in a firefight with the traffickers after he confronted them. Three people have been killed by police in separate incidents earlier this year while trying to cross the border into Israel. Posted by: Fred 2007-12-23 |
