| Iraqi intelligence casing U.S. embassy in Cairo |

Egyptian security identified the men as officers posted to the Iraqi Embassy in Cairo. More clumsiness, on the same order as the Philippines. These guys must think they're back home...

The State Department on Feb. 14 expelled Iraqi News Agency reporter Mohammad Hassan Allawi from the United States for improper activities that endangered U.S. national security, officials said. Philippines authorities said two weeks ago an Iraqi diplomat, Husham Hussein, received a phone call from a member of the Al Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf terrorist group after the group detonated a bomb outside a military base in the southern city of Zamboanga on Oct. 2. |
