In Egypt, a sapper died during bomb disposal near a Christian church.

15
The police in Cairo received reports of the discovery of a strange object near one of the Christian churches in the eastern suburbs of the Egyptian capital. Egyptian law enforcement officers, including explosives specialists (sappers), have advanced to the place of detection. A preliminary inspection immediately led to the conclusion that it was an explosive device. The terrorists were going to put it into action during the celebration of Christmas in the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos.





According to some information, the explosive device was fixed on the roof. A bomb engineer proceeded to his disposal. However, work with an explosive device led to tragedy. The explosive device worked, and the person who tried to neutralize him died. Two more representatives of the Egyptian law enforcement agencies received fragmental wounds and were taken to one of the clinics.

At the moment, none of the radical groups operating in Egypt have claimed responsibility for the terrorist act.

The press service of the police department of the metropolitan region of Egypt says that an employee of the demining unit at the cost of his own life saved dozens of Egyptian Christians lives. At the same time, nothing is said about the reason why the bomb was not defused in a truly safe way.

    Super eternal memory and earth rest in peace. How many of these religious wars have claimed lives, and how many more will be carried to the mind is incomprehensible.

    Condolences to the sapper family. Work in our turbulent times is necessary, but dangerous. Apparently, it was not possible to drag the sapper robot onto the roof, and a detonation in place could lead to destruction. I think that’s why it was decided to neutralize them on the spot. Probably some sort of focus was set up in the IED, designed to undermine in case of detection and neutralization. Those who installed IEDs were not newbies, burning them in hell forever.

    Minesweeper of peace and repose, the family of the deceased is condolences.
    Everything speaks of an attempt to foment a religious war, and if we add up the last few facts, there is a purposeful movement against Christians. Now the main question: Who needs a global religious war?

    I agree. Earth rest in peace Warrior.

    But they have a grudge overkill.
    Was some time ago in the Valley of the Kings.
    Two fighters are sitting 1.5-2 meters from the table, on which lie a pair of shabby HecklerKoch MP-5 first issues.
    On me, who came to the table, zero attention.
    Generally they have, in Egypt, the police, the army is mainly armed AK, and village self-defense than necessary, in one settlement I saw at the "checkpoint" (there is a drin across the road) a colorful barefoot uncle with a gun, almost from Napoleon's time.
