Top Sinai bombings suspect killed
2005-11-21
Egyptian forces shot dead on Monday a Bedouin leader in the Sinai peninsula who was wanted over his suspected involvement in a string of deadly bombings in the area, the interior ministry said.

Egyptian forces had been hunting Salem Khadr Al Shnub for months over his alleged role in the deadly bombings against the Red Sea resorts of Sharm el Sheikh, Taba and a foreign military base in the Sinai.

“He was killed in clashes with anti-terrorist units Monday at dawn in a mountainous region of Sinai” known as Jabal Halal, a ministry statement said.

“Police had surrounded the region after receiving information that he was preparing another terrorist operation,” it added.
