| Egypt can't understand why we're upset... |
| 2002-07-06 |
| Egypt's foreign minister expressed surprise on Saturday afternoon at the furor over the attack, saying the motives were still unclear and similar incidents occurred frequently. Middle East News Agency (MENA) said Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher told reporters in Cairo that such incidents occur repeatedly in the United States and other countries and said he was surprised by the exaggeration of this event in particular. "Until now, nobody knows the motives behind this incident. We have to await the outcome of the current investigations so that we can review them," MENA quoted Maher as saying. Mr Foreign Minister is being intentionally dense. It could be because it occurred on our Independence Day, after a couple weeks or longer of vague warnings of attacks on that very day, to include a special guest appearance by the probably late Osama bin Laden, mere days after al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades had declared war on us. |
