Gunmen on motorcycle kill Egyptian policeman
CAIRO - Gunmen on a motorcycle shot dead a policeman manning a checkpoint just outside Cairo early Tuesday, Egypt's state news agency said.
MENA quoted a security official as saying another two policemen were wounded in the shooting in Shibeen al-Qanatar, north of the capital.
Maj. Gen. Magdy el-Shalaqani meanwhile said explosives struck electrical pylons on the outskirts of Cairo, cutting power to a complex housing most of Egypt's private TV stations and briefly taking them off the air.
