Egypt police kill 40 ‘terrorists’ after Giza bus attack: ministry
CAIRO, Dec 29, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Egyptian police killed 40 “terrorists” in
separate raids early Saturday, a day after a roadside bomb near the Giza
pyramids killed three Vietnamese tourists and their guide, the interior
ministry said.
Two raids in the Giza governorate killed 30 “terrorists”, while the
remaining 10 were killed in the restive North Sinai, the ministry said in a
statement.
It said authorities acted after receiving information the suspects were
preparing a series of attacks against state and tourist institutions and
churches.
