Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman's family stressed the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to intervene in the release of the "blind Sheikh." Abdel Rahman's son Mohamed said security parties in Egypt don't mind the return of Omar Abdel Rahman and the military council also sent the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a letter proving it doesn't mind his return either. In the same context, Mohamed said his family will give the ministry one week to take needed procedures for his father's return; otherwise he'll file a suitcase against the ministry. The current and latest U.S. departments reported they could immediately release the Abdel Rahman if they received an official letter from the concerned parties in Egypt.
