Gunmen Kill Egyptian Policeman

Gunmen killed an Egyptian policeman in an attack on his vehicle on Monday near the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya, security officials said.

Two officers were wounded in the attack on a police patrol, the officials said. The assailants fled the scene.

More than 100 policemen have been killed across Egypt in attacks and clashes since the military overthrew Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in July.

Morsi's supporters have held mostly peaceful protests, but hundreds of Islamists have been killed as clashes have broken out with security forces and civilian opponents of Morsi.
