Egyptian Border Guards Kill African Migrant

An Egyptian security official says border guards have shot dead an African migrant near the border with Israel.

The official said the 25-year-old Eritrean refused to surrender when police fired warning shots in the air and continued running toward the Israeli near Rafah in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on Saturday. In a separate incident, the official says authorities arrested 26 migrants from Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia before they reached the border. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
