The chief suspect of the terrorist attack killing Western tourists in Egypt has died after suffering from self-inflicted injuries while in police custody.

Egyptian Prosecutor General Maher Abdul Wahid reported Saturday that Ashraf Said Yusef hit his head on the wall several times, and was admitted to the hospital on May 11th dying May 19th.

The first report by the government-financed Supreme Council for Human Rights reported that at least nine Egyptians died in detention during 2004.

Police arrested Yusef late last month suspecting him of masterminding three attacks against Western tourists April in Cairo, in which three tourists were killed and 20 others injured.

Indeed it is a shame. He died in only 8 days, which is a shamefully short period of time.

He died of self inflicted wounds. He kept punching me in the fist with his stomach after which he kept smashing me in the knee with his face. Hard news, grievous hard.

"It was the most determined suicide we have ever seen!", said the the prosecutor.

BTW, how do the Egyptians get away with beating his head into a wall, when the MSM scream like crazy over head panties in Abu Ghrabi? This incredible double standard is really getting old.

It's a good thing somebody opened it, or he might have hit his head.
