...were killed when a raid on a militant hideout southwest of Cairo was ambushed...
They ran out of ammo, and fell into a well-planned ambush? That's pretty close to the most stupid pair of things I've ever read. Arrive loaded for bear, and with overwhelming force, and from all available directions, including choppers equipped for close air support. Kill all the creeps who don't surrender, and try and then execute (muzzie-style) those who are captured. Broadcast video tours of the captured hideouts, showing the captured and/or expended arms used by the terrorists, and point the finger of blame where it belongs, which is Iran and/or Sudan.
