The Ministry of Interior continues chasing and dogging terrorist elements entangled in implementing some terrorist assaults that target servicemen and policemen and plan to escalate operations aiming at shaking stability across the country.
The National Security Sector (NSS) has information about the presence of a group of terrorists at Al-Abtal District in the North Sinai Governorate.
This group involved in murdering Nabil Habashy and planned to implement a number of hostile operations that target Coptic citizens, their property, places of worship, and the posts of the armed forces and the police.
Officers of the NSS dealt immediately with this information.
Close-up monitoring resulted in spotting three very dangerous terrorists at Al Abtal District. They were boarding a white color Nissan pick-up.
They were on their way to carry out a hostile assault but they were encircled tightly.
The terrorists started firing intensely at the police force that responded at once.
Three terrorists were killed and an explosive belt exploded.
The officers found an automatic weapon, explosive belt, a grenade, and a number of bullets.
Two terrorists were identified as Mohamed Ziadah Salem Ziadah (alias Ammar) who was one of the most dangerous terrorists because he was responsible for planning and implementing a number of terror assaults in the North Sinai governorate.
He was also responsible for providing logistics to the terrorists.
The second terrorist was Youssef Ibrahim Sliem (alias Abu Mohamed) who carried out a number of terror assaults along with providing logistics.
Officers of the NSS are chasing the other terrorists who took part in murdering Nabil Habashy.
They identified them as Jihad Attallah Salamah Audah, Ahmed Kemal Mohamed Shehatah, and Khalid Mohamed Sliem Hussein.
Legal procedures were taken and Higher Security of State Prosecution has started an investigation into the accident.
