The Interior Ministry said that eight terrorists were killed, while five members of Hasm movement in Fayyoum, Giza and Sharqia were arrested as part of the ministry's efforts exerted to chase the elements of the armed wing of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood (MB) named "Hasm".
In a statement issued on Sunday, the ministry said that a tip off revealed that the movement's leaders lure new youth elements to join the extremist organization and train them on using various weapons so as to prepare them to carry out terrorist attacks.
The training camp of the extremist group in Fayyoum was raided resulting in the death of eight terrorists.
Meanwhile, two hotbeds for the terrorist organization were detected in Giza and Sharqia where five extremist elements were arrested and papers tackling their planned terrorist assaults were found in their possession.
Security bodies took all legal measures against the arrested, while the Supreme State Security Prosecution will open a probe.
