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.

He must have killed himself out of fear of extradition.

The thought of leaving his merciful, rat-infested, bare Arab prison cell for an American torture chamber complete with cable TV and conjugal visits was too much for him.

At least he got to spend his last few days in the hands of people who respect the Geneva Convention (even though it doesn't apply to terrorists).

Then he shot himself in the head a few times.

Had some dirt on Hillary, huh?

The handlers need a refresher course. It should have lasted at least 6 weeks.

maybe it lasted as long as it had to........

Now I don't know much... but I think if I smash my head into a wall hard enough to "hurt" myself, I'd be unconcious.

So he had to run into a wall, wake up, then run into a wall. Then get up and do it again and again.

Even if he was dizzy from the prior injuries, then run and slam his head into a wall again.

Riiiiiiight..., Yep, I can see that scenario. Makes sense to me.

Happens all the time. Very common method of suicide. We should ban walls....... but then again only outlaws would have walls.

Do prisons there have toilets?

Looks like they don't need to worry about that pesky "lid thing" though...
