Bomb Kills Police Brigadier General in Cairo

Local Editor

An Egyptian police brigadier general was killed Wednesday by a bomb placed under his car in Cairo, security officials said.

The killing of Ahmed Zaki in the capital’s western suburb of October 6 was the latest in a spate of attacks by militants targeting the security forces since the ouster of Brotherhood president Mohamed Mursi last July.
Zaki, killed in the fifth such attack targeting police in Cairo within a week, was a commander in Egypt’s central security forces.

He was the third police general to be killed in attacks since the start of the year.
