Report: Morsi To Smuggle Al-Qaeda’s Zawahiri Into Egypt -- Human Events
According to a new report from the Arabic-language website Misr al-Gidida [translated for this story by the author], during Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi’s recent visit to Islamabad, Pakistan, he secretly met with Ayman Zawahiri, the leader of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, and promised to smuggle the Egyptian-born jihadi back home. The Arabic report cites a Pakistani source saying that the meeting was clandestinely arranged, away from the delegation accompanying Morsi, and “facilitated by elements of Pakistani intelligence (ISI) and influential members of the international organization, the Muslim brotherhood.”

My Comment: This story has not been collaborated by other sources .... until something more definite is revealed, this story will be treated with a certain degree of skepticism. As to what is my take .... Egyptian President Morsi has been known to give comfort and support to well known terrorist leaders .... so it is possible that such a meeting did take place.
But I personally hope for Egypt's sake that this story is not true. Ayman Zawahiri was Osama Bin laden's number two for years, and has been directly implicated in being involved in 9/11. Any Egyptian involvement to shelter him will be perceived by the American people as a grievous affront to justice and the rule of law .... and there will be dire consequences.
