Policeman killed, 3 injured in attack on Cairo-Fayoum desert road
[AlAhram] One policeman has been killed and three others injured after unknown assailants fired shots early Saturday at a prisoners transfer truck on the Cairo-Fayoum desert road, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported.

The injuried were transported to the Fayoum General Hospital for treatment.

According to initial investigations, gunnies on a cycle of violence fired shots on the police truck that was travelling on the desert road south of Cairo.

The Cairo-Fayoum desert road has been disrupted several times by assailants firing on security checkpoints.

In May, assailants fired on a checkpoint on the road. However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
 no injuries were reported and the assailants escaped.
An Nahar adds:
The assailants were hiding in a field and fired on a convoy transporting two prisoners due for release, before fleeing the scene, a police general told AFP.

The shooting came days after coppers killed five suspects in Fayoum province, southwest of Cairo.
