Egyptian police shot dead three men wanted for involvement in bombings that killed 20 people in the Sinai resort of Dahab in April, an Interior Ministry statement carried by the state MENA news agency said on Friday.

 

The men, all brothers, died in a clash after police laid siege to their hideout on the outskirts of El Arish in northern Sinai, the statement said, adding that a fourth brother had died during the Dahab blasts.

 

These latest deaths take the total number of Dahab suspects killed by police to 10, according to previous Interior Ministry statements.
