Cairo: Two gunmen on a motorbike assassinated a senior Egyptian Interior Ministry official outside his home in Cairo on Tuesday, security officials said, putting pressure on the military-backed government as it struggles to contain an Islamist insurgency.
“General Mohammad Saeed, head of the technical office of the minister of interior, was targeted by gunmen,” said one of the officials.
Islamist militants have stepped up attacks on security forces since army chief Field Marshal Abdul Fattah Al Sissi toppled president Mohammad Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood in July.
