Not allowed to post much text from AP. Sounds like a convoy of Egyptian police headed to attack a base of jihad terrorists was ambushed and slaughtered. The jihadists probably had a heads-up from someone in the police or intel services????

Horrible.

54!?!!?!????????????!!!!!

Why would police be involved in a raid in such large numbers?!?!?!

Wouldn’t numbers like that usually involve the military, at least in a country like that?

I dont think we’d send police to overrun a militant hide out here, would we?

For instance, if we thought maybe 100 armed terrorists were at a certain location, wouldn’t we get the national guard or something involved?

Moslim Brotherhood.

Horrible.

I know a supporter, an Egyptian here in US.

They want Sharia.

They kill Christians.

I support Sisi for he is trying to drag Egypt back out of the tribal past.

Conscripts? Are the police in Egypt drafted?

Debka's take - posted yesterday has more details.
Did a Muslim Brothers armed cell or ISIS massacre 55 Egyptian policemen?

Next time, just drop a bomb on the hideout.
