Militants attacked on Monday night a mobile police convoy in Nasr City, killing three personnel and injuring five others. Eyewitnesses told Daily News Egypt that the militants drove two privately owned cars, ambushed the mobile checkpoint, and opened fire. They added that the attack took place when the police cars stopped at the Mohamed Zaki square near the Ring Road. The groups which are most active in the regions of Cairo and the Delta are Hasm and Lewaa El Thawra. Monday’s attack on a mobile police convoy is a change of tactics by militants, who have generally attacked stationary police checkpoints.
