Cairo's Tahrir metro station to be closed indefinitely for security reasons Sadat metro station in central Cairo was only re-opened two weeks ago after being closed for two years
Tahrir Square's Sadat metro station will be closed indefinitely starting Tuesday morning, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported. Khaled Sabra, the CEO of the Egyptian Corporation for Metro Management & Operation, said in a media statement that the station would shut its doors indefinitely for security reasons. Cairo's main central metro station was re-opened at the beginning of the Holy Month of Ramadan on 17 June after a two-year-closure following the dispersal of pro-Mohamed Morsi sits-in at Rabaa and Nahda squares in the summer of 2013. The decision comes less than 24 hours after the assassination of Egypt's prosecutor-general Hisham Barakat. Barakat died on Monday in hospital after sustaining serious injuries in a blast which targeted his motorcade in Heliopolis. Barakat, who was 65 years old, is to be buried today. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/134120.aspx
