| Egyptian border guard killed in confrontation with smugglers |
| 2007-12-23 |
| Ma'an – An Egyptian border guard was shot to death by smugglers near the Egypt-Israeli border on Friday night, news agencies reported. Reports conflicted as to whether the guard, twenty-one-year-old Mohammed Abdel-Ghaffar, was killed by drug traffickers or by smugglers helping African migrants enter Israel. By one account, Abdel-Ghaffar was killed in a firefight with the traffickers after he confronted them. Three people have been killed by police in separate incidents earlier this year while trying to cross the border into Israel. |

" Must be noted, sounds like he was actually doing his job. |
