CAIRO, Egypt — Police have arrested an American, 11 Europeans and several others from Arab countries for allegedly plotting terrorist attacks in Middle Eastern countries including Iraq, the Interior Ministry said today.
The group was part of an Islamic militant terror cell that had adopted extremist ideas and were living in Egypt under the guise of studying Arabic and Islamic studies, the ministry said in a statement.
Along with the American, police arrested two Belgians, nine French and several others from Egypt and other Arab countries including Tunisia and Syria, the statement said.
The ministry did provide names or say how many Egyptians and Arabs were arrested.
“Investigations have confirmed that those elements are related to some terrorist organizations abroad,” the ministry said. “They were seeking to recruit others, teach them destructive beliefs, urging them for jihad, traveling to Iraq to carry out operations via other countries in the region.”
They were arrested about a week ago, police officials said, speaking on condition on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. It was not immediately clear if all the arrests took place in Cairo or elsewhere in Egypt.
All of the arrested were in jail pending further investigation, the ministry said.

Did you notice that they said how many foreigners were captured, but declined to comment on the number of Mideasterners? Two thoughts come to mind on that, either they specifically targeted the Westerners, or they caught so many Mideasterners that they were embarrassed to say how many!

This is sweet! Those Egyptians are going to make him beg and plead to go to Gitmo by the time they get through with him. They don’t play games and they don’t care at all about PR. Even that crazy blind sheik couldn’t take it and took off, much to the detriment of a stupid US, who felt sorry for what he went through and let him in. I hope the US lets him rot there.
