History teaches us, in the words of late President Nasser, when he said to Abdul-Latif Al-Baghdadi and Khalid Mohieddin, his colleagues in the Revolutionary Command Council, back in 1954, that he had six bombings executed in one day in different parts of Cairo to terrorize the people and divert them from demanding the return to democracy (see Abdel-Latif Al-Baghdadi’s autobiography, and also the book ‚Alaan Atakalam‘ (Now, I talk), Khalid Mohieddin’s autobiography).
A few years ago, Egypt’s State Security apparatus blew up a huge bomb outside Two-Saints Church in Alexandria, on Christmas eve, that claimed the lives of a large number of our Christian fellow citizens, and blamed the crime on peaceful Islamic groups, to spark sectarian strife in the society.
Those agencies recruit ‚friendly‘ and hired media henchmen to promote false accusations. However, these sometimes expose themselves and the security agencies that pull their strings by broadcasting news of terrorist acts even before they occur.
