Egypt Police Kill Cairo Bombing Suspect
2014-03-12
[An Nahar] Egyptian police on Tuesday rubbed out a krazed killer suspected of being involved in a January kaboom against Cairo police headquarters, the interior ministry said.

The bombing in the heart of the capital, one of many attacks targeting security forces since the ouster of 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...
in July, had killed four people.

Mohammed al-Sayed Mansour al-Toukhi was killed in a shootout with coppers when they came to arrest him in an eastern Cairo neighborhood, the ministry said.

His killing comes a day after police said they had tossed in the clink
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!

in 2011.

An al-Qaeda inspired group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis (Partisans of Jerusalem), had claimed the bombing of the police headquarters.

The group has also claimed most of the deadliest attacks in Egypt since Morsi's ouster, saying they were carried out as Dire Revenge™ against an ongoing government crackdown on his Islamist supporters.
