Egypt: Presidency Denies “Israeli” Penetration of Egyptian Air Space to Bomb Khartoum Factory

Cairo - Hassan al-Kabbani

Official spokesman of Egyptian presidency Dr. Yasser Ali denied what The Sunday Times had mentioned on "Israeli" planes penetrating Egyptian air space to bomb Sudan's Yarmouk arms factory in Khartoum.
Dr. Ali declared in a press release on Thursday that the translation was literal and inaccurate when referring to the original text.
He also denied the Egyptian presidency received any warrant from Salafi commands in Sinai that indicates 30 young Egyptian men were involved in the "Israeli" Mossad, stressing that what was published concerning that issue was incorrect.
Furthermore, Attorney General Abed al-Majid Mahmoud faced national fury, after issuing a verdict against Dr. Essam al-Erian, Egyptian presidency's consultant and vice chairman of "Freedom and Justice" Party. He had referred al-Erian to Misdemeanor Court on charges of slandering and defaming an Egyptian journalist.

Al-Erian's attorney, Abed al-Moneim al-Maksoud, considered the referral as "settling matters". However, "Together to Call the Attorney General to Account" campaign confirmed that the demand of the Attorney General leaving office is the revolution's second demand after President Hosni Mubarak's overthrow. Egypt's Supreme Judicial Council demanded an investigation with Abed al-Majid Mahmoud about offenses against law experts and judges.
