6 MB militants killed in shoot-out with police forces in Qalyubia
Six militants of Hasm Movement (an armed group
affiliated with the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood) were killed in a gunfight
with police forces in Qalyubia Governorate, the Interior Ministry said
Thursday.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of
interior, these elements were involved in a number of hostile activities aimed
at destabilizing the country's security and stability.
Earlier on March 7, Police forces managed to
neutralize seven terrorists in Giza during fire exchanges in two separate
locations, the Interior Ministry said in the statement.
The neutralized elements reportedly belonged to the
Islamist militant group, Hasm Movement.
The police targeted the elements as security
investigations revealed they had planned to trigger a bomb in Giza, the
statement read.
Three elements of Hasm Movement started shooting at
policemen who attempted to approach their car, injuring a police officer.
Police personnel managed to neutralize the elements and seize their weapons and
improvised explosive device inside their vehicle.
