| [PRESSTV] Egypt’s military says it has killed "a large number of terrorist elements" in the country’s Western Desert after its warplanes conducted Colonel Tamer el-Rifai announced the news in a statement on Tuesday, adding that the aerial raid had been carried out in a rugged area some 80 kilometers southwest of the capital Cairo. In aerial footage posted by the country’s military, three four-wheel-drive vehicles, allegedly belonging to a suspected terror group, were targeted after many gunnies got off them and started running in all directions. Rifai further said that the scene was still being assessed and the casualty count was incomplete. Elsewhere in his statement, the army front man asserted that those targeted were suspected of having been involved in a bushwhack on Egyptian police less than two weeks ago around 135 kilometers southwest of Cairo, a rare flare-up outside the restive Sinai Peninsula. The Egyptian Interior Ministry said at the time that 16 police bit the dust in the attack. However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... security sources claim that more than 50 were killed in the September 20 incident. The attack sparked huge public anger in Egypt, with many questioning President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s success in fighting bully boyz across Egypt. |
