Ahmed Mohamed Ali, a spokesperson for the Armed Forces, apologized publically for the "accidental" fatal shooting of 13-year-old street vendor Omar Salah on 3 February.
The teen was killed near the US Embassy in Cairo after
being shot by security forces during clashes sparked by the second
anniversary of the 25 January revolution.
Ali claimed that the soldier fired his weapon by mistake during a routine inspection.
Ali added the soldier who shot him is being investigated
and alleged that the boy’s family has waived their right to seek justice
through the courts.
