Ten militants were killed and nine policemen were injured on Sunday in a shootout in central Cairo’s Agouza district as police were executing a raid, according to a statement by the Ministry of Interior. Security forces had received information that a number of militants who escaped the restive North Sinai were hiding out in two apartments in Agouza and were planning a number of attacks in central governorates. A number of weapons were found in the two apartments. Six of the suspects have been identified. Two of the suspects were wanted on terrorism-related charges in North Sinai.
