An Egyptian militant group said Tuesday (May 2nd) it had carried out an attack on an Egyptian police convoy in Cairo that killed three officers and wounded five, AFP reported.
The Interior Ministry said "armed elements riding in two vehicles" had approached a moving convoy near the main ring road around Cairo at around 11:45 p.m. Monday.
The Hasm Movement, which has carried out a series of attacks and assassinations in the Cairo area, later claimed the attack on social media.
The convoy was going through a roundabout on the main ring road around the capital when the gunmen attacked.
Police returned fire and attempted "to apprehend the perpetrators", the ministry said.
