| Three Infidels Cut In Cairo |
| 2004-02-09 |
| An Australian and two Norwegian tourists were injured in a knife attack here by an Egyptian man who claimed to be angered by Israeli and American aggression in the Middle East, a police source said. It made sense to him, I guess. The Australian man, his Norwegian wife and an unspecified relative of the woman were rushed to hospital after being injured in the knife attack in a historic Islamic quarter of northern Cairo. They were said to be in stable condition and not seriously injured. I hope for his sake the trip was her idea. Why, yes, I’m married, how can you tell? The attacker, Hussein Ahmed Hassan, boss of an internet services company, fled but was quickly apprehended by police around the Al-Ghuriya market area. Upon his arrest Hassan was said to be in a state of extreme agitation and speaking incomprehensibly. In full seethe mode, must have been the tall nordic blond with titties that sent him over the edge. |

| #9 An obviously oppressed and humiliated Muslim stabs three non-believers in the back in a bid to restore his "lost sense of dignity". Nothing to see here. Move on... |

| #7 Ed, you are correct. There is a big difference in the severity of the events, but the first event left the tourist industry very fragile so even a minor incident may hurt. I guess it doesn't help much to see the Brotherhood in the news on a weekly and discussion of the neighbors fooling with WMD. |

| #6 Let's be clear, the little 1997 anti-infidel misunderstanding at the pyramids resulted in the massacre of 58 tourists, two police, two Egyptians, and all six attackers. It not the same as a ROPer going to Oslo and finding nothing but gefilte fish to eat. |

| #5 The Palis don't get Holocaust II and the Iraqis are free. So this guy takews his unrighteous indignation out on innocent bystanders. Just standard operating procedure for the Turbans. |

| #3 ....attack in a historic Islamic quarter of northern Cairo.... Just wondering how many historic non-islamic quarters there are in a country that is 94% Sunni Muslim? |

| #2 The last time there was a tourist killing in Egypt the population rose in condemnation of the attack, because the take-in quite a bit of money in the area adjacent to the pyramids. This incident will be very crippling to the tourist trade if it receives enough publicity. |

| #1 Well we should really get more aggressive. Give the Islamazoids something to really bitch about. How about a JDAM on Medina. |
