Eight police killed in attack on outskirts of Cairo
Unidentified gunmen killed eight policemen dressed in civilian clothes, including an officer, in an attack on a police vehicle in Helwan, just south of Cairo, the Egyptian Interior Ministry said on Sunday. The Ministry said in a statement on its official Facebook page that four gunmen with automatic weapons got out of a small pick-up truck, stopped the police car, sprayed it with bullets and then fled. Residents told Reuters the gunmen wore masks. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. (Reuters)
