Israel Withdraws Presence From Egypt
CAIRO [MENL] -- After more than 30 years, Israel has been forced to withdraw
its diplomatic presence from Egypt.
Hundreds of Islamists, identified as anti-regime activists, stormed the
Israeli embassy in Cairo, smashed a concrete barrier and penetrated the
compound as police refused to intervene. About 30 of the attackers climbed
the building and ransacked embassy offices, leaving the six embassy guards
trapped.
