Security forces killed a key suspect and two other alleged militants accused in deadly bombings of tourist resorts in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula in the last year, the Interior Ministry said.
The ministry identified one of those killed in a shootout during a raid as Salem Khadr Shenoub, whom it called an architect of the July 23 attacks in Sharm el Sheik that killed at least 64 people and the Oct. 7, 2004, bombings of a hotel in Taba and two nearby beach camps that killed more than 30. The other two were identified as Shenoub’s cousin and his brother-in-law, the statement said.
