The interior ministry on Saturday denied media reports that an explosive charge has hit a security crackdown led by Fayyoum security chief.
Media reports said that a home-made bomb has targeted the crackdown in the governorate's district of Itsa.
In a statement earlier in the day, the ministry stressed that the reports are completely false and groundless.
Regarding the Fayoum incident, the ministry announced in a statement the killings of five suspects in a hideout, “in light of the information that was available to the national security department on the hiding of leading operatives in the governorate, most notable of them Abdelsalam Ateyya [who was] responsible for the terrorist attacks of the Muslim Brotherhood in Fayoum…inside a farm owned by the Brotherhood member Abdel Nasser Abdel Fattah”. The statement added that they were charged in several cases including killing and arson amongst others.
The statement also revealed that 10 individuals accused of participating in the Niger embassy attack in July, alongside other attacks, were arrested. Another member of the group in Giza was killed after a fire fight, according to the ministry statement.
