October 2000 Rioting in Cairo

October 26, 2008 – 7:42 pm

I did find archived articles by the London Times. One article, dated Monday, October 2, 2000, said that Israeli troops had killed a ten-year-old boy the day before, which was the day I flew out of Cairo. Evidently, his death was the 28th Muslim fatality in only four days. He was also the third child killed in that short time. I can see why people in Egypt would be outraged.
