Investigations into the storming of the Israeli embassy in Cairo revealed that young people may have been bribed into taking violent action that day, reported Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram on Sunday.
A source explained to Al Ahram that participants were assembled the day before the attack and taken by "luxury tourist buses" to eat a "lavish dinner." They were told they need to take revenge against Israel "for our children who were killed on the border."
According to the report, envelopes were handed out to each participant with money ranging from five to eleven thousand pounds,
$840 - $1850
and all agreed to gather the next day at 5 p.m. "in various locations such as the zoo and the field of Cairo University, [and] to go to the embassy and create chaos."
I don't know if it's truth or Pravda (official truth).
| Which is better, that they arose in self-righteous indignation and hatred of the uppity juices, or that from a desire for a fancy dinner and half a years' salary they were willing to terrorize innocents who'd done them no wrong. |
