CAIRO: Twenty suspected French Islamists have been expelled from Egypt over the past month after being detained in the wake of the Al-Hussein bombing last February.
A locally-made bomb exploded under a bench near Al-Hussein mosque Feb. 22 injuring 23 and causing the death of a 17-year-old French student.
Another canister was exploded in a controlled demolition by authorities.
Seven people have been arrested in connection with the bombing, two Egyptians (identified as Ahmed Mohammed Siddiq and Khaled Mahmoud Mustapha), two Palestinians, a British man of Egyptian descent (identified as Hazem Mustapha Ibrahim), a Belgian of Tunisian descent and a French woman of Algerian descent.
