Gunmen killed a senior Egyptian police official a day after the military endorsed a possible presidential run by Defense Minister Abdelfatah al-Seesi.
Assailants on a motorcycle shot Major General Mohamed al-Saeed, director of the Interior Ministry’s technical office, said Ahmed Dawoud, an officer at the Giza investigations unit. A day earlier, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said that the public wants al-Seesi, who hasn’t announced his plans, to run for election and it’s up to him to “shoulder the responsibility.”
