"The two terrorists who have been arrested Thursday in an apartment in Qaha City possessed firearms and maps of some churches and security directorates, beside a list with the names of police officers and political and public figures," said head of Qaliubiya prosecutions, Mo'men Salman.
Salman added the both were referred to State Security Prosecution for interrogations.
The defendants were wounded as the police chased them as they tried to escape, Salman said.
