The Egyptian police identified on Thursday the terrorist who killed 20 people using a booby-trapped car in the Egyptian capital Cairo earlier this week.
The man was named as Abdul Rahman Khaled Mahmoud who belongs to Hasm, Egypt's interior ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said that its security forces have identified two hideouts of the terrorist cell behind the attack, adding that one of the hiding places was located in Fayoum province, 100 km southwest of the capital Cairo, while the other was in Shorouk city near Cairo.
According to the ministry, eight of the terrorists were killed during a shootout while attacking their den in Fayoum.
A total of 20 people were killed and 47 others were injured when a booby-trapped car driving from the opposite direction exploded Sunday night after hitting three other cars near the National Cancer Institute in downtown Cairo.
