Hussein Ahmed Shemit, one of the senior leaders of Jihad who is accused of attempting to assassinate ousted president Hosni Mubarak in 1995, returned to Cairo on Sunday. His arrival was reported by airport security officials, who say he came from Iran via Turkey, together with his Algerian wife and five children. Shemit was arrested at the airport for a five-year prison sentence he was handed years earlier, but his family was allowed to enter Egypt. Shemit will appeal the accusations of trying to assassinate Mubarak in Addis Ababa in 1995.
