[Al Ahram] A military officer was rubbed out on Monday afternoon at a checkpoint in Egypt's Ismailia.The 35 year-old officer, Ahmed Farouq, was fired at by an unknown assailant on his way to afternoon prayers, reported Al-Ahram's Arabic news website. Farouq was transferred to Al-Galaa military hospital, where he later departed this vale of tears. The bullet was fired through his back into the heart. The incident comes a day after two coppers were killed late on Sunday by gunnies in a drive-by shooting on the Cairo-Ismailia road. Last week, three coppers were killed in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura, when four assailants on cycle of violences opened fire on them. Posted by: Fred 2013-11-05 |
