Egypt police kill Sudanese migrant at Israel border

Egyptian border guards shot dead an unarmed Sudanese migrant as he tried to flee into Israel during a shootout with people traffickers at the Israeli border on Tuesday, a security source said.

The traffickers opened fire on police stationed near the Karam Abu Salem crossing after the guards tried to halt the small lorry they were in as it approached the barbed wire that separates Egypt and Israel, the source said. (Reuters)
