CAIRO, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- A Libyan terrorist was involved in the recent anti-police deadly attack in a desert area on the outskirts of Giza province, southern the capital Cairo, the Egyptian Interior Ministry revealed in a statement on Thursday.
The statement said that the Libyan militant was the only one who survived security raids after the deadly two-day confrontations that started on Oct. 20 and left 16 policemen dead and 13 wounded, besides one kidnapped but was freed later by the forces.
The later security crackdown on the nearby mountainous areas around the Western Desert near Al-Wahat highway left 15 militants dead and finally caught the Libyan runaway alive.
"The man was caught and we found out he is Libyan and his name is Abdel-Rahim Mohamed Abdullah al-Mismary, who lived in Derna city in Libya," said the police statement.
