In a month, more than 20 alleged French extremists have been expelled from Egypt. “Twenty French extremist Muslims who have been arrested in connection with the terrorist attack in Cairo in February have been little by little expelled”, a speaker of the Egyptian security services has told, under anonimity.
According to a report by the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masri Al-Youm, an ongoing investigation into the February 22, 2009, bombing in the Al-Hussein Square in Cairo turned up startling evidence of al-Qaeda’s connections in Gaza and of the group’s operations in Egypt. Accused by police of perpetrating the attack at the popular tourist spot, which killed a French girl and injured two dozen others, are three Belgians, a man from France, another from the United Kingdom, two brothers from the PA and five Egyptians.
Several of the Europeans in the terror cell reportedly underwent arms and explosives training by Palestinian Authority factions in Gaza, where they also received funding. After making their way into Egypt and joining the Arab cell members, according to police, the group perpetrated the Cairo bombing and was planning to attack Israeli targets in Egypt.
Interesting to note that meanwhile this has posed NO outrage in Egyptian media, the murder in Germany of an Egyptian Muslim woman who was wearing a hijab by a neighbour, has made several front Islamic figures ask for vengeance against the murderer.
