Sniper Kills Egypt Soldier in Sinai
2013-11-07
[An Nahar] A sniper rubbed out an Egyptian soldier Wednesday in the lawless Sinai Peninsula where the army has been waging a relentless campaign to root out bad boys, a security official said.

The 20-year-old conscript was killed while training at a military camp in Sheikh Zuwayed, the official said.

"He was shot in the head," the official said, adding the nature of the wound indicated the bullet had been fired from altitude.

on July 3.

A subsequent crackdown on Islamists has resulted in more than 1,000 people being killed and more than 2,000 locked away

#4  Can't do that in Egypt. You can't trust that your snipers won't become their snipers... You never know when an acute attack of Sudden Jihad will strike.
