By Reuters
Tags: Israel, Egypt, Refugees 

Egyptian police shot dead a Sudanese migrant and detained eight others trying to cross Egypt's border illegally and enter Israel, security officials said on Tuesday.

Sinai is the main route for traffickers trying to take mainly African migrants into Israel for work or asylum.

Security officials said, on a customary condition of anonymity, that police shot Ermeniry Khasheef in the back as he attempted to cross the border south of the Sinai peninsula town of Rafah, ignoring orders to stop.

Police also detained a Nepalese man and woman, two Eritreans and four Chinese also trying to cross into Israel illegally, the officials said.

Police fatally shot an Eritrean woman on the border last week and detained her two daughters.
