Egypt police kill 3 militants in Assiut raid
[AlAhram] The militants were involved in armed attacks on security personnel and checkpoints during the last two years, a statement by the interior ministry said

The interior ministry said on Tuesday that police forces killed three Lions of Islam during a security raid in Upper Egypt's Assiut governorate.

A statement published on the ministry's Facebook page said that recent security intelligence revealed that some leaders of the Moslem Brüderbund's gang were residing in an apartment building in Manfalout village, Assiut governorate.

The three murderous Moslems, who were convicted and wanted in other cases for belonging to the "Sawaaed Masr" and "Hasm" groups,
...hasm means decisiveness in Arabic, apparently, and has been busy since first appearing in Rantburg's archives in early October...
sought haven in the village to plan the execution of further attacks against security forces in the future, according to the statement.

The Lions of Islam were involved in a range of armed attacks on security personnel and checkpoints during the last two years.

They were killed after security forces opened fire on them while they were in an apartment building, the statement added.
Ynet adds:
The Interior Ministry said in a statement on Facebook that automatic weapons were found in the house in the southern province of Assiut, which was used by a recently emerged gang called Hasm.

The Interior Ministry said two of the men killed were wanted in connection with deadly attacks on coppers and a third was a bomb maker for the group.
