Gunmen shoot, seriously wound Egypt military officer
CAIRO - Gunmen on a motorcycle shot an Egyptian military officer, seriously wounding him as he walked to work in a Cairo neighborhood, the military said Monday.
Military spokesman Mohammed Samir said on his official Facebook page that "terrorist elements" shot the non-commissioned officer in east Cairo's al-Marg neighborhood. He said the officer had multiple wounds in different parts of his body and was transferred to a military hospital for treatment.
A security official who is familiar with the incident report said four masked gunmen, riding a motorcycle and heavily armed, sprayed the 30-year old officer with bullets as he walked in a busy street, then fled. The official said witnesses reported the attack to the police.
