Nayef Abu Qebal, the government-appointed chief of the Swarka Tribe in
Arish, Sinai, died Saturday after anonymous gunmen attacked him when he was
in a salon for hair cut.

The perpetrators escaped and a claim was filed at the police station.
Security authorities said they were intensifying efforts to catch the
fugitives.

A security source in Arish told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the Abu Qebal was
transferred to Arish Public Hospital but he died of his wounds a few minutes
after his arrival.

Medical sources said that Qebal had sustained severe injuries to his head.
