| 2017-07-12 |
| [AlAhram] Egypt’s Ministry of Interior said on Tuesday that police potted a leading member of the hard boy group Hasm during a shootout in Fayoum governorate. The ministry said that the National Security Agency received information that a meeting of the group’s members was set to be held in Fayoum’s Snores village to plan terrorist attacks. The slain leader was responsible for recruiting young members and sending them to training camps affiliated with the group, the ministry added. Hasm has grabbed credit for a number of attacks against Egyptian security personnel in recent months, mostly targeting police checkpoints. Egyptian security forces have tossed in the slammer ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... and killed dozens of suspected Hasm members in the past few months. |
