| Egypt Restricts Women Traveling to Turkey |
| 2015-05-18 |
| [AnNahar] Egypt has imposed restrictions on female citizens traveling to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , police said Sunday, months after introducing similar measures for men to stop them joining the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadist group. Women aged 18 to 40 are now required to obtain security clearance before going to Turkey, a police brass hat told AFP, without specifying why. "A security clearance can be acquired within 72 hours, and it is now mandatory for women traveling to this country (Turkey)," the officer said. The restriction took effect on Thursday, a Cairo airport official said. In March Egypt's state-sponsored Islamic authority, Dar al-Ifta, warned women against marrying IS fighters over the Internet who woo them to travel to jihadist-controlled territory. The compulsory security clearance for men, introduced in December, applies to war-torn Libya as well as Turkey. Jihadists have regularly launched attacks in Egypt, mostly in the Sinai Peninsula, since Islamist president Mohammed Morsi was ousted in 2013, and officials say that many of them have fought in Syria, which borders Turkey. |
