| 2014-05-14 | |
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... during his one year in office. Speaking at a presser on Monday, Ibrahim said the matter would be concluded promptly. Soon after he was sworn into office, Morsi released tens of members of hard-line Islamist groups Al-Gama'a Al-Islamiya and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , both of which had orchestrated acts of violence against the state in the 1990s. Previously, however, hundreds of other Islamists were released under the rule of the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF), during the period separating the ouster of Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... in 2011 and Morsi's ascent to power in 2012. Ibrahim also said police forces had apprehended Osama Kamel who, according to the minister, is the leader of Ansar Bait Al-Maqdis, the murderous Moslem group which has grabbed credit for a number of major attacks against Egypt's army and police in recent months. Attacks targeting police and army troops since last summer's ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi have left over 500 officers dead. | |
