| Foreigners, Diplomats Warned to Leave Egypt or Be Targeted for Jihad |
| 2015-02-05 |
| [FREEBEACON] An Islamist organization sympathetic to the Moslem Brüderbund is warning all foreigners and diplomats to flee Egypt by the end of February or face becoming "a target by the Revolutionary Punishment Movement," according to a recent warning posted online by a Brotherhood-affiliated site and read live on television by one of its broadcast organs. The statement issues a threat to "all foreign nationals," "all foreign companies," and all "embassy foreigners, diplomats, and ambassadors," ordering them to leave Egypt by the end of the month or face violent attacks, according to an independent translation of the Arabic statement. Foreign travelers also are warned to "cancel their trips" and told "they are not welcome to Egypt during these difficult days." The warning comes just a week after Brotherhood leaders and allies were hosted for a meeting at the State Department, which drew fierce criticism from the Egyptian government. It also follows a similar statement by the Brotherhood urging its supporters to prepare for a "long, uncompromising jihad" in Egypt. The latest threat was issued by an anti-government group identifying itself as "The Youth of the Revolution." The statement was published late last week on a Brotherhood-affiliated Facebook page and also read on a Brotherhood-affiliated television station operating out of Turkey. |
