Nine Central Security Forces personnel were wounded after unknown gunmen shot at their vehicle in Qalyubiya late Friday.
The shooters opened fire from a rooftop by the Ring Road at a vehicle carrying conscripts who were on their way back from a security mission at the city of Shubra al-Kheima.
Egyptian security has been struggling against deadly armed attacks and bombings since the ouster of former president Mohamed Morsy, whose Muslim Brotherhood deny authorities’ accusation of involvement in the attacks.
