foils terror plot by “ ” group
The Ministry of Interior has successfully thwarted a terror plot planned by the "Hasm" terrorist organization.

The national security sector, in coordination with other security bodies, managed to identify the key operatives behind the plot.

The plot coincided with releasing a video, widely circulated on social media, showing Hasm members undergoing military-style training in a desert area in a neighboring country, threatening to carry out terrorist attacks on the Egyptian soil.
