(IsraelNN.com) Egyptian sources revealed on Sunday that its intelligence forces two months ago arrested approximately two dozen terrorists who planned to attack Jews visiting the tomb of the revered 19th century Rabbi Yaakov Abhatzeira. They also plotted to strike American ships in the Suez Canal and banks in Cairo and Alexandria.

The terrorists also were in possession of a large quantity of explosives used for Hamas rocket attacks. The cell was attempting to join the “Jihad in Darfur” and had been training at a desert camp near the Mediterranean Coast.

Funny. Mubarak has no problem with funding jihadist rantings in the mosques and a state-run media that regularly bangs the anti-western tom-tom.

But threaten the tourist industry and you’re toast.

Remember, the only acceptable political self-expression in these places is externalized hatred of the big and little satans.
