Thanks WCG!

"He had told her that he loved flying and probably would die flying" {{{shudder}}}

Here's an update from Canada. Notice there's NO mention of an American wife. Plus, Hamid is noted as having dual Egyptian-Canadian citizenship. Again, NO mention of having lived in the U.S., much less having U.S. citizenship!?!

It just gets more bizarre.

Pic of Hamid's father. Seems the father is to talking to the press. Any chance your contacts can reach him in Canada?

Just catching up this morning. This article now says he had dual Egyptian/Canadian citizenship. The other said US/Egypt. Also this article says "Ashraf had just started working with Flash Airlines and wasn't flying but was on the relief crew of the doomed charter plane".

This becomes more muddled as we go as a lot of these stories seem to get. Thanks V for the link. I will continue down the thread. WCG
