"At least one person was killed on Tuesday in a gun battle between Egyptian police and Bedouin accused of helping bomb three tourist resorts on Egypt's Red Sea coast in October, official sources said. Thirty-four people, including 12 Israelis, were killed in the October 7 attacks.

An Egyptian Interior Ministry statement said later that one suspect, named as fugitive Mohammed Abdel Rahman Badawi, was killed and one policeman was wounded.

The ministry said Badawi had taken part in the attack on the Badia camp near Nuweiba, one of the three resorts hit on October 7 in the simultaneous bombings."

"Tuesday's fighting took place in the hills near Ain Sudr, inland from the west coast town of Ras Sudr and about 185 kilometers (115 miles) east of Cairo, it said.
The Interior Ministry statement said police started searching the hilly area on Monday evening after receiving information that fugitives were hiding out in caves there."
