The assassination of Egyptian state prosecutor Hisham Barakat on June 29 indicates an increased risk of terrorist attacks in Egypt. Experts’ explanations range from simply poor planning to the possibility that terrorist and extremist organizations — including the Muslim Brotherhood — have cracked the Interior Ministry’s security services.
Maj. Gen. Abdul-Latif al-Bidiny, security expert and former assistant minister of interior, said in press statements the bombing of Barakat’s convoy confirms terrorist organizations have circumvented the security imposed by the Interior Ministry. However, he did not accuse the security services of negligence.
