Egypt police guarantee trouble-free Eid
CAIRO - The police pushed on with their crackdown on crime rings in Cairo arresting fugitives, suspects, hawkers and sellers of fireworks ahead of Eid el-Fitr which begins after the end of Ramadan.
The latest arrests is part of a major sweep launched following orders by the Capital Security Chief, Major General Mohssen Murad, who wanted the police to continue with their raids against outlaws, drug pushers and the sellers of fireworks, and seize their illegal and harmful goods.
