Luxor Governor Adel El-Khayat, a member of ultra-conservative Al-Gamaa Al-Islamiya, has resigned. Al-Khayat blamed his resignation on "an unjust media campaign" against him. Khayat's appointment stirred controversy due to Al-Gamaa Al-Islamiya role in the murder of at least 58 tourists and 4 Egyptians in a terrorist attack in Luxor in 1997. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/74719.aspx
