Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi ordered on Wednesday to appoint Mohamed Raafat as acting chief of intelligence to replace Murad Muwafi who was ordered to retire, state TV reported.
Morsi also sacked North Sinai Governor Abdel Wahab Mabrouk after the deadly attack on a military checkpoint attack which killed 16 soldiers and injured seven others on Sunday.
Mohamed Ahmed Zaki was assigned as chief of the Republican Guards, and Maged Moustafa as assistant to interior ministry for central security forces in accordance with the president's instructions to preserve security in Egypt, said the president's spokesman Yasser Ali. |
