Very cogent piece on the history of some highly dangerous people. Thanks very much for posting this.

Expecting an uptick in Egyptian terror incidents in due course.

right...how long can any country hold these mass arrests
of such people? At the very least they should tell them that if they have any reason to pick them up again they will just be shot on the spot , and their families too.....

Can I add back the paragraph that shows the relationship of Gamaa Islamiya to Zawahiri?

If you include the source, a working link to the article, and make sure it's an excerpt, that should work.

Inside Al-Qaeda: a window into the world of militant Islam and the Afghani alumni

By Richard Engel, Cairo and Amman

Excerpt:

Ayman al-Zawahari, 50, has more experience in radical Islamic politics than even Bin Laden. Interpol has listed al-Zawahari among its most wanted men. He is described by Western officials as Bin Laden's right-hand man and heir apparent to his organisation. Hailing from a long line of prominent politicians, doctors and religious leaders, his full name is Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahari, although he has used the code names Abu Mohammed and Abu Fatima.

A surgeon, al-Zawahari has been described as a private, intelligent and vindictive person. "He was first arrested in 1966 when he was just 15 years old for belonging to the then-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's oldest radical Islamic group. During the 1970s, al-Zawahari remained involved with militant Islamic organisations and emerged as a leader of Egypt's Gihad group, which, in conjunction with the Gamaa Islamiya, carried out the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.

After Sadat's murder, al-Zawahari was arrested, but police were never able to tie him directly to the assassination.....
