| Two Egyptian policemen killed near pyramids |
| 2015-06-04 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Gunmen on a cycle of violence rubbed out two members of Egypt's tourism and antiquities police force on a road near the Giza pyramids on Wednesday, security sources said, in a rare attack near a tourist site. No group immediately grabbed credit for the attack but Islamist Lions of Islam bent on toppling the Cairo government have in the past killed hundreds of police and soldiers, usually at checkpoints and barracks or cop shoppes. Attacks have increased since then army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sissi led the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammad Mursi after mass protests in 2013 against his troubled year in office. A shift towards attacks on softer tourist and economic targets could undermine Egypt's efforts to win back foreign tourists scared away by political and economic turmoil since a 2011 uprising which ousted veteran autocrat Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... The security sources said Wednesday's incident happened about 30 meters from a security checkpoint leading to the tourist site on the western outskirts of Cairo. |

| #1 Tourism is their lifeblood. They need to crack down. Hard. Start executing those condemned to death. Start with Morsi. |
