An escaped Egyptian prisoner was recaptured as he fled a police ambush disguised as a woman in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, security sources said on Saturday.
Adel Mohammed Dasouqi, 35, escaped from Cairo’s Abu Zaabal Prison earlier this year where he was serving a three-year sentence for robbery and extortion. He was accused of using fierce dogs to force shopkeepers and other people to pay him protection money.
