| [AlAhram] Egypt's interior ministry said that security forces have located a private vehicle carrying weapons and explosives in Giza's Faisal district which initial investigations show was used to transfer the bomb used in Friday's attack on a security checkpoint in Giza that killed six coppers, al-Ahram Arabic website reported on Tuesday. Security forces defused an bomb found in the car, which turned out to be stolen. The ministry said that two suitcases were found in the vehicle. In the first, security forces found a pistol, automatic rifle and ammunition, while in the second they found material used to manufacture explosives as well as a container for transporting bombs. Security forces are intensifying their search to arrest the Death Eaters responsible for Friday's attack, in which six coppers were killed and three others were maimed. A little-known Egyptian Lion of Islam group which calls itself "Hasm" grabbed credit for Friday's kaboom. The group has claimed a number of other attacks on police checkpoints in recent months. |
