Egyptian security forces storm southern town

CAIRO: Security forces backed by armored vehicles and helicopters on Monday stormed a town south of Cairo that had been held for over two months by militants loyal to the ousted Islamist president, swiftly taking control despite some resistance from gunmen.

Local activists Adel Shafiq and Ezzat Ibrahim said a joint force of army and police rolled into the town of Dalga, about 300 kilometers south of the Egyptian capital, before dawn on Monday.



They said there were about ten minutes of intense gunfire, followed by sporadic shots as government forces began house-to-house searches to arrest militants.
