| Would-be Mubarak assassin arrested in Cairo airport |
| 2011-08-14 |
| Hussein Ahmed Shemit, who is accused of attempting to assassinate ousted president Hosni Mubarak in 1995, returned to Cairo on Sunday. His arrival was disclosed by airport security officials, who say he came from Iran via Turkey, together with his Algerian wife and five children. Hiding out in Iran, was he? Wotta coincidence... Shemit was arrested at the airport for a five-year prison sentence he was given years earlier, but his family was allowed to enter Egypt. Shemit will appeal the accusations of attempting to assassinate Mubarak in Addis Ababa in 1995. I'm told Egyptians hold grudges for a long, long time... |
