EL-ARISH, Egypt, Oct 29 AP - An Egyptian security official says a man from Sudan's Darfur region was shot dead trying to sneak across the border into Israel.
Egyptian border guards surprised a group of Africans and their Egyptian smugglers trying to cross into Israel 10 kilometres south of the Rafah border town, said a security official.
The two sides exchanged fire and the Sudanese man was killed while two others were taken into custody.
The remaining Africans and their smugglers scattered into the desert border region.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the press.
Many migrants seeking political asylum and jobs try to cross into Israel with the help of Bedouin traffickers. Egypt has killed dozens of migrants in recent years.
All the other countries are forced to accept 'asylum' seekers on the grounds of 'humane' treatment., except Israel.
Israel must pave the way and show how humanely it can treat all of the other species of the world.
