Both al-Wafd and al-Aḥrār reported that the director of the

Eastern

Alexandria prosecution, had imprisoned eight persons, charged with joining the banned, outlawed, Muslim Brotherhood

group. Only al-Ahali reported, on its front page, that the terrorist Rifai Ahmed Taha had issued a

statement, in the name of

Al-Jamā‘ah al-Islāmīyah, in which he threatened that they had plans to commit

incidents similar to those of 1981.
