{UAH} Egypt Security Forces Under Attack

CAIRO – At least six Egyptian soldiers were killed in a series of attacks on Monday, October 07, in Cairo and Sinai, following a bloody day of protests in which 53 protesters were killed across Egypt.

Starting at Monday dawn, security sources said that gunmen killed five Egyptian soldiers, including a lieutenant officer, as they sat in a car by a checkpoint near the Suez Canal city of Ismailia.

Another attack occurred when a car exploded outside a security building in a southern Sinai town.

Away from Sinai, the dawn attack on the earth station in the suburb of Maadi in Cairo caused only minor damage to one of the giant satellite dishes in the complex.

Monday's attacks come just one day after at least 50 people were killed in clashes between security forces and supporters of deposed former President Mohamed Morsi.
