10 Dead, 3 Hurt in Central Egypt Family Feud
 [An Nahar] Ten people were killed in a feud between two families who went on a shooting rampage in a town of central Egypt on Saturday, security officials said.The violence in the El-Badari area of Assiut province pitted members of the El-Shaieba and El-Aawashir families. It started when a senior El-Aawashir member was rubbed out along with a relative and another man in an ambush by the rival family members, a police brass hat from Assiut, Hassan Seif, told Agence La Belle France Presse. Seif said when reports of the killings spread, angry members of El-Aawashir went on a rampage, shooting at El-Shaieba members, resulting in seven more deaths. Three others were maimed in the fighting. Security officials said the El-Shaieba members carried out the initial ambush to avenge the death of a relative last year whose killing was blamed on the El-Aawashirs. The area where the fighting broke out was sealed off by security forces, Seif said. Posted by: Fred 2013-11-03 |
