Egypt Interior Ministry kills 2 as it foils terrorist plot by Hasm movement - Courts & Law
Egypt's Ministry of Interior announced Sunday that it had thwarted a terrorist plot by the Hasm movement, killing two suspects during a raid in Giza. Hasm (Determination), short for Harakat Sawa'd Misr (Arms of Egypt Movement), is a militant group that emerged in 2016 and claimed responsibility for a series of attacks targeting security forces, judges, and government officials. It was designated as a terrorist organization by Egyptian authorities in 2017. In a statement, the ministry said that security services had tracked an alleged plan by Hasm to resume its operations by targeting security and economic sites. 'Information was received indicating that leaders of the terrorist group Hasm—the armed wing of the Muslim Brotherhood currently residing in Turkey—were involved in preparing and planning to revive the group's activity and carry out hostile operations targeting security and economic facilities,' the ministry stated. According to the statement, one operative, identified as the fugitive Ahmed Mohamed Abdel Razek Ahmed Ghoneim, had allegedly infiltrated Egypt through desert routes after receiving 'advanced military training in a neighbouring country.' Ghoneim, the ministry added, was previously convicted in multiple terrorism cases, including a death sentence for killing a police officer and life sentences for plotting to assassinate high-ranking officials and targeting the presidential aircraft. 'The plot coincided with the group's production of a video, widely circulated on social media, showing its members conducting training exercises in a desert area in a neighbouring country, vowing to carry out terrorist attacks inside Egypt,' the ministry added. Ghoneim was reportedly staying in an apartment in Bulaq El-Dakrour, Giza, along with another suspect, Ihab Abdel Latif Mohamed Abdel Qader, wanted in connection with an attempted assassination case. During a raid on the apartment, the suspects allegedly opened fire on security forces. The ministry said both men were killed in the ensuing exchange. One security officer was wounded, and a civilian was killed. The National Security Sector, in coordination with other agencies, identified several group leaders allegedly responsible for the plot. These include Yahya El-Sayed Ibrahim Mohamed Moussa, described as a founding figure of Hasm, and four others—Mohamed Rafiq Ibrahim Menaa, Alaa Ali Ali El-Samahi, Mohamed Abdel Hafeez Abdallah Abdel Hafeez, and Ali Mahmoud Mohamed Abdel Wanis—all of whom have been convicted in absentia in terrorism-related cases. Hasm's last known operation was in 2019, when authorities accused it of orchestrating a deadly car bombing near Cairo's National Cancer Institute. Hasm's first known operation was a failed attempt to assassinate Egypt's former Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa during Friday prayers on 5 August 2016, injuring his bodyguard. The group later tried to kill Assistant Public Prosecutor Zakaria Abdel Aziz with a car bomb in September. In November 2016, Hasm also claimed responsibility for the attempted assassination of Judge Ahmed Aboul Fotouh in Nasr City—one of the judges who sentenced former President Mohamed Morsi to 20 years in prison. The group has also been linked to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, which Egyptian authorities have accused of providing direction and logistical support for its operations. In 2022, Egyptian authorities arrested Hasm founder Hossam Menoufi after his flight from Sudan to Turkey made an emergency landing in Luxor. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Nissan launched the seventh generation of the legendary Nissan Patrol at a ceremony held today on Egypt's North Coast, a stunning stretch along the Mediterranean Sea.

Combining a rich heritage of over 70 years of excellence with advanced aesthetics, the latest model is a textbook interpretation of Nissan's global design philosophy that is rooted in the concepts of 'Daring Presence' and 'Established Prestige'. As Nissan Africa president Jordi Vila explained to the assembled media and Nissan's partners across Egypt, 'The Nissan Patrol is arriving in Africa, starting with Egypt, as we continue our brand promise of excellence, elegance, and premium craftsmanship. A new era of refined luxury begins here.' The All-new Nissan Patrol, he said, was a vehicle that would perform outstandingly irrespective of the terrain or whether it was used for daily commuting or the adventure of a lifetime. Its arrival will reinforce the leadership of the Nissan brand in Egypt and support our broader product strategy across Africa. Nissan Egypt Managing Director Mohamed Abdelsamad agreed, saying the all-new Patrol offered a unique and powerful automotive solution. 'With the launch of this legendary model in the Egyptian market, we affirm our ongoing commitment to provide a premium driving experience, supported by the latest Nissan technologies.' 'The All-New Nissan Patrol has arrived to complement our robust lineup in Egypt, from the best-selling Sunny, a staple in the Egyptian market, to the versatile Sentra, the dynamic Juke, the stylish Qashqai, the adventurous X-Trail, and the rugged Navara. With the Patrol joining this distinguished family, we reaffirm our leadership in the SUV segment and our commitment to delivering excellence across every category.' Abdelsamad added. All-new Engines The seventh-generation Nissan Patrol is the most powerful version of the SUV to date, setting new benchmarks in performance, responsiveness, and efficiency. It offers two engine options to accommodate different driving styles: The first is a new twin-turbocharged V6 engine that delivers 425 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, representing a 7% increase in power and a 25% boost in torque compared to the previous V8 engine. The engine is also 24% more fuel efficient, reflecting Nissan's commitment to innovative powertrain development, prioritizing performance and sustainability. The second option is a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre V6 engine, producing 316 horsepower and 386 Nm of torque. The new engine boasts several key upgrades, including refined throttle response, heat-reflective coatings for improved thermal efficiency, a heat-resistant turbocharger for high-stress driving, and a high-performance oil pump to ensure consistent lubrication across rugged terrain. These enhancements optimize airflow and combustion as well as reduce environmental impact. Strong and Elegant Exterior Design The all-new Patrol features a commanding and elegant exterior design. Nissan's iconic V-Motion grille is broader and seamlessly integrated into the bodywork. The bold front is flanked by the distinctive new double C-shaped adaptive LED headlights for optimal visibility, while the striking full-width light bar further accentuates the bold exterior evolution. The Patrol rides on 22-inch alloy wheels, offering both aesthetic appeal and ground-gripping performance on rough terrain. Customers can choose from seven striking exterior colours, including four dual-tone combinations emphasizing individuality and luxury. Advanced Technology for a Unique Driving Experience The Patrol's new nine-speed automatic transmission ensures a smooth, responsive drive across city streets and off-road landscapes. With rapid gear changes and paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel, drivers enjoy seamless acceleration and heightened control. The all-new suspension system features electronic dampers that automatically adjust to road conditions for greater comfort and stability, working in tandem with an adaptive air suspension system that allows height adjustments for superior performance across various surfaces. An enhanced electronic steering system with lane-keeping assistance further improves safety and precision. The Patrol offers six drive modes: Standard, Sand, Rock, Mud, Eco, and Sport, ensuring readiness for any road or challenge. Refined Comfort, Innovative Design, and Cutting-Edge Safety The cabin exudes luxury and spaciousness, highlighted by a standard panoramic sunroof and NASA-inspired Zero Gravity seats in the first and second rows. These ergonomic seats reduce fatigue and maximize comfort using biomechanics designed to mimic weightlessness. An adjustable power leg rest further enhances long-drive comfort. The interior boasts dual 14.3-inch screens for navigation and infotainment, plus two 12.8-inch rear-seat entertainment displays, enabling seamless wireless or wired device connectivity. The gear selector has been upgraded to a sleek electronic 'Piano Key' shifter, offering a modern, intuitive driving experience. The All-New Nissan Patrol introduces an exceptional audio experience with its 12-speaker Klipsch Premium Audio system. Featured in select trims, this system delivers an immersive and crystal-clear soundscape that integrates seamlessly into the Patrol's interior, thanks to precision-engineered components developed by Nissan and Klipsch engineers. Complementing this sensory sophistication is the Patrol's segment-first Biometric Cooling technology, designed to maintain optimal comfort regardless of external temperatures. Available in select grades, this innovative system uses a built-in infrared sensor to detect the body temperature of front and second row passengers, and automatically adjusts air flow settings to provide a smart, intuitive cooling experience. Advanced Safety Systems The all-new Nissan Patrol offers a comprehensive set of safety systems, including the 360-degree Panorama View system, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and rear automatic braking. Protection has also been enhanced with a structure made of higher-density reinforced steel, along with seven airbags. Ongoing Commitment to Innovation and Excellence The launch of the all-new Nissan Patrol reinforces Nissan Egypt's position as the market leader, reaffirming its commitment to deliver automotive solutions that merge robust performance with advanced safety, luxurious comfort, and the latest technology. This new generation of Patrol exemplifies Nissan's vision of innovation, delivering world-class vehicles tailored to the needs of its Egyptian customers, making it the SUV of choice for those who demand excellence without compromise. تم نسخ الرابط
