Two assailants arrested in attack on military vehicle: Egypt army
[Al Ahram] Two of the assailants who carried out the deadly attack on a military armed personnel carrier (APC) Friday morning in Egypt's Ismailia were captured by the armed forces, a military official told state news agency MENA, without identifying the suspects.Two army conscripts were killed, and one conscript and one officer were maimed -- one of whom is at death's door - in a drive-by shooting targeting a military APC on the highway connecting Cairo to the Suez Canal city of Ismailia. The official told MENA that the army is combing villages near the shooting site to capture the rest of the assailants, whom he says fired at the APC with machine guns from two private cars carrying 8 attackers and drove off. One conscript died on the scene, while the other departed this vale of tears in the hospital. Military troops and helicopters were deployed to the scene. Posted by: Fred 2013-10-05 |
