State Security's prosecutor requested that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs address its British counterpart on the veracity of a report issued by Mamdouh Ramzy that accused Minister of the Interior Habib al-Adly of involvement in the explosion at the Church of the Two Saints. On New Year's Eve 2010, an explosion at the Church of the Two Saints in Alexandria killed 24 and injured more than 90 worshippers. Ramzy's report alleged Adly formed a secret organization six years ago that was managed by 22 officers, including some members of the Muslim Brotherhood that had spent time in prison. This organization was to cause chaos all over Egypt if the regime was challenged. British intelligence revealed that Major Fathi Abdel Wahed, who was close to Adly, called Ahmed Mohamed Khaled and ordered that he bomb the church of the two saints to “discipline the Copts.” Khaled spent 11 years in prison for membership in the extremist group “Gundallah.” The group planned to bomb the church using a car bomb using materials from Gaza, but Abdel Wahed triggered the explosives himself using a radio before the assailants could leave the car. Abdel Wahed arrested the chairman of Gundallah, but he escaped and hid in the British embassy in Cairo.
