Why the coverup? A father and an uncle (retd generals)in the Egyptian Army. Saudi Money. Fear of widespread reprisals against muslims. Opens up the can of worms with EgyptAir Flight 990 (Friend of the jihadi pilot, Batouty)

The biggest threat to the current Egyptian government is the terrorist group that is headed by Osama Bin Ladens second in command. Thats the same group that the blind Sheik who we have in jail is involved with. Being a general in the Eyptian Army makes you less, not more likely to be associated with that terrorist group.

You might go on a reprisal against Muslims but most Americans are not going to join you because one idiot does the equivalent of a "drive by" shooting. Now if you had that happening in ten or twenty different airports simulataneously, then you might be right. But not over this. Unless you are a Jew or Israeli or know the individuals involved, its like hearing about the latest drive by or drug killing. Its not going to cause vigalantism.

As far as connection to Egyptian Airlines case. That would be interesting but the only source Ive heard for that was DEBKA, so I doubt that will pan out.

So you tell me, why is the FBI covering up if you feel they are?

"Being a general in the Eyptian Army makes you less, not more likely to be associated with that terrorist group."

It's also true that the assassins of Sadat were in the Egyptian Army.

As was Ali Mohammad, US Green Beret, ex-Egyptian Army, convicted in the 1993 WTC Attack.

One of Osama's lieutenants was an Egyptian cop.

My point is, it's anecdotal but a potentially serious issue, when the sons of the elites of our "allies" are against the US.

Make this the 20th jihadi arabnutcase nut to be killed after inflicting damage on US soil, that we know of, in the past year.

"Unless you are a Jew or Israeli or know the individuals involved, its like hearing about the latest drive by or drug killing. "

Fine, so i'm jewish. A devout muslim, arab, 10 years in the US, family recently evacuated from the LandofWar, and you compare this to a drive by? Dead is dead, but why these jews were murdered is important, despite what you say. Simple hate, ok, that's STILL terror.

Targeting unarmed civilians in any context is terror.

"Why the coverup"

It's the absurdity of the "coverup" that's galling. The FBI refuses to call this terror! That's what's irritating people. A arabmoslem going postal! That's terror.
