Egypt Update

By Montag | Related entries in The War On Terrorism, The World

An update to the story I linked to yesterday that said the suspects in the Egypt bombings were Pakistanis.

The Egyptian ambassador to Pakistan, Hussein Haridy, also denied reports that Pakistanis were involved in the attacks.

“We deny categorically any links between Pakistani nationals and Sharm el-Sheikh blasts,” he told Reuters in Islamabad. “As far as Pakistan is concerned, it is categorically denied, and about other foreign nationals the investigations are going on.”

Police in Sharm el-Sheikh did distribute the photographs and passport numbers of five missing Pakistani men, aged between 36 and 18, to checkpoints in the South Sinai area, but some security sources said it was a precautionary step and the men were never the prime suspects in the investigations.
