Fourth Sawarka tribe member assassinated

Four masked men shot dead a member of Sinai's al-Sawarka tribe, Khaled Khalaf al-Mene'i, on Thursday.

He was killed outside his villa in Obour City, Qaliubiya.

 
Mene'i is the fourth member of Sawarka tribe to be killed by anonymous gunmen. Three members have been previously killed over cooperating with security authorities against militants in Sinai. Mene'i's father and two of his brothers were killed.
 
The prosector ordered the burial of the body after inspection. It was transferred to Sinai to be buried by his family.
 
The victim's wife and brother accused Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis of targeting Mene'i, like his father and two other brothers.
 
Head of Qaliubiya Security Directorate Saeed Shalaby ordered a quick investigation into the incident.
