CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian security officials have blamed Islamist militants for the shooting death of an Interior Ministry lieutenant colonel, the highest-profile killing in Cairo since the overthrow of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July.

Mohamed Mabruk was killed outside his home in Cairo's Nasr City district on Sunday, three days after a three-month curfew and state of emergency were lifted.
