Al-Adli: Security negotiations with Khartoum halted because Mubarak's attackers still in Sudan

In a statement to the London-based al-Hayat newspaper, Egyptian Minister of Interior Habib al-Adli stated today that the three Egyptian terrorists accused of the attempted assassination of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Addis Ababa in 1995 are present in and linked to Sudan, confirming that security negotiations with El-Khartoum were halted due to this issue.

Then al-Adli said that the security situation in Egypt is currently stable, referring to the change in security plans, instructions and targets aimed at enhancing this stability. He added, however, that crimes might take place in any country.

He also said that the issue of Egyptian terrorists abroad requires international efforts to arrive at a solution. He also called for an international agreement for confronting terrorism.
