Egypt's security services have identified three Muslim Brotherhood members as suspects in the assassination on Saturday of Brigadier General Adel Ragaei, commander of the 9th Armored Division. According to a security source, preliminary investigations suggest that the assassins were also involved in an attack on a security checkpoint in August. Investigators say the three men, who are Muslim Brotherhood members, killed General Ragaei outside his home, an attack that was claimed by a group calling itself "Lewaa al-Thawra”. While the three suspects have not yet been caught, investigators say they have identified the car they used in the assassination, and a manhunt is underway. According to the source, the three suspects are thought to have used a rented apartment on the outskirts of Obour City while planning the assassination on Saturday.
