Lähde: Egyptin armeija iskee islamistikapinallisia vastaan Siinailla
Egyptian security forces evacuate Giza Police General Nabil Farrag who was killed after militants opened fire. The police general fell in the first moments of the battle. Gen. Nabil Farrag had just given a pep talk to his men on the street, preparing them to roll into the town, when they came under a hail of gunfire, according to an Associated Press photographer and video journalists at the scene.
Army soldiers and policemen ducked for cover behind armored vehicles and behind walls. Farrag fell with a bullet wound in his right side, getting past the body armor he was wearing. He lay in the street for nearly 15 minutes, blood soaking through his white uniform, until his men could reach him and carry him into a sedan to take to a hospital.

A knife attacker appears to have exclusively targeted female tourists during a deadly rampage before hotel staff pinned him down and wheeled him away in a luggage cart.
Two German women were killed and four more tourists injured during the knife attack at a beach in Egypt.
The attack happened on Friday at a Red Sea resort in Hurghada, as police said the assailant swam from a nearby beach before stabbing people.
The attacker reportedly shouted: 'Stay away, I don't want Egyptians.'
Security and medical sources had earlier reported the two women killed were Ukrainians, but Major General Mohamed El-Hamzawi, security manager of Red Sea province, said victims have been identified as Germans.
All six victims are women, Egyptian authorities said.
It is not yet confirmed what nationalities the four wounded women are, with one report stating that three were from Serbia and one from Poland, while another said two Czech women had been injured.

Some of those in hospital are in critical condition, according to an Egyptian spokesman (pictured, a bloodied victim on a sofa in a nearby hotel)
The attacker was detained at the scene as an extraordinary image shows what appear to be hotel staff holding him down in the bottom of a luggage cart.
Authorities have not released a motive for his attack, but ISIS does operate within Egypt and has targeted tourists in the past.
Three foreign tourists were stabbed at the same resort in January 2016 by two suspected ISIS militants.
On that occasion the assailants - armed with a gun, a knife and a suicide belt - landed on the beach of a hotel in Hurghada by boat before attacking.
