Member of Hasm militant group killed in shootout with Egyptian police: Ministry
[AlAhram] A member of the myrmidon group Hasm involved in the killing of several coppers last May was killed in a shootout with Egyptian police in a Cairo neighborhood, a statement by the interior ministry said on Wednesday.

The Hasm member and runaway Ahmed Mohammed Omar Sweilem was killed as police conducted a raid in Cairo’s El-Marg neighborhood.

Sweilem was involved in several terrorist operations, most notably the killing of three coppers and the wounding of six others in Nasr City last May, according to the statement.

The ministry added that Sweilem was also involved in the killing of two coppers in January and September of 2016.

Wednesday’s statement comes one day after the ministry said that police potted a leading member of Hasm in a shootout in Fayoum.
