Egyptian security forces have killed six terrorists in shootouts in Giza and Ismailia governorates, the Interior Ministry said on Saturday.
Security agencies received information that a group of terrorists affiliated to Hasm group of the Muslim Brotherhood were holed up in an area in Giza, south of Cairo, to carry out a hostile operation, the ministry said in a statement.
When the forces approached the area, the terrorists opened fire, the ministry said, adding that the police returned fire, killing two of them.
