Wapmajesty Blog's: 3 suspected militants killed in car explosion in Egypt

Three suspected militants have been killed in a car explosion in Egypt’s Giza Province, media reports say.
According to Egyptian media reports, the three were killed in the town of el-Saf in Giza Province,
which is located 60 kilometers south of the capital, Cairo, on Wednesday morning after an explosive device they were carrying in their car apparently went off by mistake.
Senior Egyptian police officer Mahmoud Shawki said the car was torn into two pieces by the explosion and that security forces were trying to take DNA samples from the corpses in an attempt to identify the dead men.
Shawki added that those killed in the blast were likely to have been on the way to carry out a “terrorist operation.”
Egypt has been struck by a wave of violence, mainly attacks by militants based in the Sinai Peninsula on security forces, since the ouster of the country’s first democratically-elected President Mohammad Morsi in July 2013. The ouster was led by General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, then commander-in-chief of the Egyptian army.
Following Morsi’s downfall, Sisi announced his own candidacy for the country’s presidency and was sworn in as president after winning an election in May, in which less that 50 percent of eligible voters participated.
Egypt has also been the scene of regular anti-government protests and clashes with security forces since Morsi’s ouster.
Rights groups say the government crackdown on the supporters of Morsi has left over 1,400 people dead, and at least 15,000 have been jailed. Hundreds of the former president’s supporters have been sentenced to death or long prison terms so far.
