An American citizen who was arrested by Egyptian security forces in August in El Arish, in the Sinai Peninsula, has died in jail after apparently committing suicide.
James Henry Lunn, a former US Army officer, was detained in the north of the restive Sinai Peninsula on 27th August. He was one of nine foreign citizens detained that month, as security forces cracked down on violent protests by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

...if I were president - Egypt wouldn’t exist by tomorrow morning!
He was 66 years old. He traveled from Bahrain to Gaza three days before he was arrested. He wrote a book or blog:

If he was working for our Muslim Brotherhood president, I’m glad he’s dead. I just hope he named a lot of names first.
