| [Iran Press TV] The former Egyptian intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman ... Now former Vice president of Egypt. From 1993 until his appointment to that office in 2011 he was Minister without Portfolio and Director of the Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate (EGID)... , who faces numerous lawsuits in the North African country, has gone missing following the ouster of ex-President Hosni Mubarak. ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... More than three months after the ouster of Mubarak in the February revolution, Suleiman has not appeared in public as many reports have been filed against the former spy chief over the killing of protesters, the abuse of power and the wasting of public money. During the Egyptian revolution, Suleiman had made several televised speeches to calm protesters on behalf of Mubarak to save the regime. Since the downfall of the former president, many former officials have come under investigation and some were tried and convicted of corruption charges, while Suleiman has so far managed to avoid a day in court. In his long political career, Omar Suleiman served as an army general, politician and diplomat. In 1993, he became the chief of the Egyptian intelligence services. During the days of the revolution, he was appointed as vice president. Observers say Suleiman is working behind the scenes with the Western intelligence services to inform them on how they can penetrate the Egyptian government. Which would place him in a luxurious safe-house on the Saoodi side of the Red Sea, wouldn't it? Earlier this month, sectarian festivities between Saudi-funded Salafis and Coptic Christians in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, left at least a dozen people dead and hundreds injured. The elements of Mubarak's regime are accused of being behind the recent deadly festivities and Egyptian officials say that the remnants of the former regime seek to prevent the revolution from achieving its goals. |
