![]() It was not immediately clear how long Egyptian authorities would hold Mohammed Abouhalima. U.S. security personnel handed the Egyptian over to local authorities at Cairo's international airport, the officials said. There was initial confusion over the identity of the man returned to Egypt and it was unclear if he returned as a result of completing his U.S. prison term or for another reason. His brother was linked to a radical Egyptian cleric, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who Egyptian authorities blame for a wave of extremist violence in the mid-1990s. |
