The ministry said in a statement that security forces were pursuing one of the two runaways who was sentenced to life in prison by a military court after being convicted of planting an bomb at a cop shoppe in Assiut governorate in Upper Egypt. The suspect was also accused in two ongoing cases involving planting an bomb and being a member of a terrorist group. The ministry said that the two suspects fired on police as they closed in on their hideout, leading to a shootout.
