Egypt's Sabahi says to contest presidency
Egyptian leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi said on Saturday he had decided to run for the presidency in a forthcoming election that army chief Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is widely expected to win.       

Sabahi came third in the 2012 election won by Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, who was deposed by the army in July following mass protests against his rule.        

"My personal decision as a citizen is to run for the coming presidential elections," Sabahi said in a public address.

On the field:

Egypt's army said on Saturday it killed 16 Islamist militants in the Sinai Peninsula in an area near the border with the Gaza Strip.       

Military aircraft targeted the militants in an area south of Sheikh Zuweid on Friday evening, a statement read.
