FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A bomb in the Egyptian capital Cairo has killed a police brigadier general in the latest attack on the country’s security forces.
Brigadier General Ahmed Zaki died after a bomb placed under his car exploded in Cairo on Wednesday.
“We were at home when we heard the explosion. We saw three people running away and the brigadier general was…dead [in the car] and the police guards were injured. The three people who were running had detonated the explosive from a distance,” media outlets quoted local residents and eyewitnesses as saying.
Zaki is the third police general to be killed in such incidents since the start of the year.
The violent attacks in Cairo and other parts of the country have been claimed by a militant group linked to al-Qaeda.
According to official figures, about 500 people have been killed in a series of bombings and shooting attacks by militants over the past few months.
Egypt has been in turmoil since the army’s ouster of the country’s first democratically-elected president, Mohamed Morsi, last July.
Furthermore, Egypt’s military-backed government has launched a bloody crackdown on Morsi’s supporters and arrested thousands of Muslim Brotherhood members, including the party’s senior leaders.
Despite Cairo’s crackdown, the Brotherhood says the group remains committed to peaceful resistance against the military-installed interim government.
Several international bodies and the UN Human Rights Council have expressed concern over the Egyptian security forces’ heavy-handed crackdown and the killing of peaceful anti-government protesters.
