Security Forces Retake Another Town in Egypt

Egyptian police and military forces moved in and retook the town of Kerdasa, on Thursday.

Kerdasa had been ruled by Islamists since August 14, after they attacked and killed the local police force.

A police general was killed and nine members of the security forces were injured, during the operation.

Sixty-five arrests have been made, and more than double that number of warrants were issued.

Most of Kerdasa's residents avoided the streets, but those who did come out praised the security forces calling them liberators and saviors.
