The Ministry of the Interior issued a decision to deport seven French citizens back to their country. They had been living in Cairo for several years. They were detained in the headquarters of the security services for two months on suspicion of the existence of an organizational relationship with the accused Europeans arrested in connection with the issue of bombing Al-Hussein. This matter was investigated for approximately one month period by the Supreme State Security Prosecution. Informed sources told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the security authorities, in agreement with the French embassy, deported five French nationals last week: Durand Romday 35, Ayad Abdul Kader 30 and 27-year-olds Zahra Alashkar, Abdel Karim Almktary and Zemmouri Omar. Still within the Department of deportations in the Khalifa district downtown are Hamid Makhfi and Abdulraheem Alobidi, both 30 years-old. They await the conclusion of the proceedings with the French embassy, so as to be deported to their country today or tomorrow at the latest. The sources pointed out that the French deportees are mainly of Algerian origins and had been arrested and detained in the headquarters of the security services following the arrest of those accused in the Hussein bombings in the month of April, for the suspicion of a relationship with a French person. Cairo called in Dodi Hoxha, and accused her of involvement in commanding the group, which is linked to the al-Hussein bombings according to case file number 230 pending the Supreme State Security Survey in which eleven defendants from Britain, Belgium, Palestine, France and four Egyptians; two of them being outside the country in one of the neighboring Arab countries, are expected to be tried in absentia in case the prosecution refers the case to trial. The sources added: "All French deportees have been agreed upon by the French embassy in Cairo. The French Consul visited them more than once in their place of detention, and security services allowed the visit in addition to the presence of the consul in the investigation of the French accused." The sources emphasized that the decision of deportation was following the absence of evidence of a link between Dodi Hoxha and organizations. Sources revealed that the deportation order came following the investigations of State Security which revealed no relation between the accused and the organization. However, Hoxha was living with them in the Nasr City district, which is what pushed security services to deport her for fear of communication with external organizations, which Hoxha is being accused of in this case.
