Gunmen kill 2 Egyptian policemen at checkpoint

Gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on a checkpoint in Egypt Sunday, killing two policemen and a bystander, security officials say on the eve of the anniversary of the 2011 uprising.

Another two policemen were wounded in the attack near the town of Fakous in the Nile Delta province of Sharkiya north of Cairo, they say.

The identities of the attackers, who fled the scene, were not immediately known but police arrested three suspects in the area.
