Egypt: Motorcycle Gunmen Kill Five Police Officers
2014-01-24
[Ynet] Masked gunnies riding cycle of violences killed five Egyptian coppers in an attack on a checkpoint south of Cairo on Thursday, the Interior Ministry said.

The attack in the province of Beni Suef, 100 km (62 miles) south of Cairo, was carried out by men riding two cycle of violences, a ministry statement said. "They opened fire heavily on the forces at the checkpoint," the statement said. Two coppers were maimed.
More details here:
No one immediately grabbed credit for the attack but Egypt has seen a sharp rise in drive-by shootings and attacks targeting police and the military in the aftermath of the popularly-backed coup last July in which the army ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator...

#2  Since the army tossed out Morsi and the MusBro, Egypt is doing better than expected. Yeah, there is still the economy and the bit about feeding everyone... and the need to crush a certain vicious group of cockroaches.
