A wanted member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed el Beltagy, accused the Egyptian army of killing over 20 policemen in the Sinai to take the focus away from their actions. Prime Minister el Beblawi said the Muslim Brotherhood must come to terms with the current reality in the country. Militants continued to carry out attacks against security installations in the Rafah area. The Interior Ministry announced that 106 policemen have been killed since Aug. 14.
