Top suspected militant transferred to Egypt from Libya
A top Egyptian militant suspect Hisham al-Ashmawy has been transferred to Egypt from eastern Libya.
The Egyptian state television said Wednesday, al-Ashmawy was transfered in a military aircraft.
Ashmawy, a former Egyptian special forces officer, was apprehended in the Libyan city of Derna late last year.
He has been long sought by Cairo on charges of orchestrating a deadly desert ambush on police and other high-profile attacks.
