Suspected militants leave 9 dead in Egypt
Print Edition
Suspected militants killed nine people in attacks in Egypt yesterday, a day after clashes between Islamists and police left dozens dead and dashed hopes of restored calm after President Mohamed Morsi’s ouster.
In south Sinai, a car bomb killed three people when it exploded outside provincial police headquarters, and gunmen shot dead six soldiers near the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya.
The attacks came a day after Islamists, hoping to galvanize their flagging protest movement, clashed with police as they tried to march on a Cairo square steeped in symbolism.
Assailants firing rocket propelled grenades yesterday also damaged a satellite communication dish in Cairo that routes international calls, police said.
At least 51 people were killed the previous day in clashes, mostly in Cairo, in the worst violence in Egypt since mid-August when police dispersed two Islamist protest camps.
Police, joined by civilians opposed to the Islamists, fired tear gas and shots at the protesters when they tried to reach Tahrir Square in central Cairo.
