Egyptian police kill Nigerian trying to cross into Israel
By The Associated Press
Tags: Refugees, Sudan, Egypt 

Security and medical officials say Egyptian police have shot and killed a Nigerian man who was trying to cross illegally into Israel.

The security official says the guards also shot three Sudanese men and one woman who were also trying to sneak into Israel on Tuesday, but they were not killed.

He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.

Imad Kharboush of El-Arish Hospital says the four Sudanese have bullet wounds, and one additional Sudanese woman who was also arrested has superficial scratches.

The security official says the five Sudanese were trying to cross into Israel south of the Rafah crossing, while the Nigerian was attempting to sneak into the country even further south. All were seeking jobs in Israel.
