Ismailia, Egypt: Egyptian police shot dead a 27-year-old Sudanese man as he tried to slip over the border into Israel, security officials said on Tuesday.
The killing, which officials said took place at night on Monday, brings to 20 the number of African migrants killed at the border so far this year.
A police patrol saw the Sudanese man and four other migrants attempting to get through barbed wire on the border and ordered them to stop, opening fire when they failed to do so.
Police arrested two of the migrants, while the remaining two managed to escape towards Egypt.
