(Reuters) Egyptian police in the Sinai peninsula shot dead on Wednesday one of the men suspected in the bombings which killed 67 people in the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in July, the Egyptian Interior Ministry said. Moussa Mohamed Salem Badran, a resident of El Arish, had refused to surrender and opened fire on policemen who tried to arrest him in the Mount Halal area. "Badran played a prominent role in preparing and carrying out the Sharm el-Sheikh attacks," the ministry said. Egyptian authorities say the bombers are Sinai Bedouin, some of them with Palestinian connections.
