Suspect in Libya US mission attack killed in Cairo: police<\/strong>
\n25 October, 2012 – Agence France Presse<\/p>\n

CAIRO: A gunman killed during a police raid on an apartment in northern Cairo is suspected of involvement in a deadly attack last month on the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, police said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Various media reports meanwhile suggested that the man who died in Wednesday’s raid was a Libyan citizen who is believed to be an Al-Qaeda militant.<\/p>\n

“The gunmen who was killed when police raided an apartment in Madinat Nasr… is suspected of having connections with the group that carried out the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi,” an Egyptian police official said.<\/p>\n

US ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the September 11 attack on the US consulate in the eastern Libya city.<\/p>\n

At the time, social networks blamed the hardline Salafist group Ansar al-Sharia for the attack.<\/p>\n

The independent Al-Masry al-Youm newspaper, quoting interior ministry official General Mohieddin al-Sayyed, said the suspect killed on Wednesday could be an Al-Qaeda militant.<\/p>\n

“The Madinat Nasr police department received information indicating that a terrorist, a member of Al-Qaeda, was present in an apartment in Madinat Nasr,” Sayyed is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

As a result police raided the apartment and clashed with the suspect who was killed when he activated an explosive device, he said.
