Two policemen killed in Cairo attack

Cairo: Two policemen, guarding a bank in the Egyptian capital, were killed Saturday in an attack by unidentified gunmen, a security source said.

Three masked gunmen on a motorbike opened fire on the two policemen in the early Saturday assault outside the bank in the plush quarter of Agouza, the source added.

The assailants fled the scene as police launched a massive hunt for the suspects, the source said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.

One of the two policemen was killed immediately, while the other died later of injuries, the source added.
