| Egyptian security forces killed one person and captured four early on Sunday in a gun battle in the center of Sinai while investigating bomb attacks in the resort of Dahab and north Sinai, security sources said. Two people involved in the gunfight escaped, the sources added. However, separate security sources said that one man was killed and no one was captured. Details of the shootout were not immediately available. On Saturday police detained two men they said drove people suspected of involvement in the attacks. Shortly after the Dahab blasts police said they had formally detained at least 10 people and taken in about 70 local Bedouin for questioning. |
