Egyptians paid to storm Israeli embassy in Cairo
Investigations into the storming of the Israeli embassy in Cairo revealed that young people may have been bribed into taking violent action that day, Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram reported Sunday.
A source explained to Al Ahram that participants were assembled the day before the attack and taken by “luxury tourist buses” to eat a “lavish dinner.” They were told they need to take revenge against Israel “for our children who were killed on the border.”
According to the report, envelopes were handed out to each participant with money ranging from 5,000-11,000 pounds pounds, and all agreed to gather the next day at 5 p.m. “in various locations such as the zoo and the field of Cairo University, [and] to go to the embassy and create chaos.”
Getting paid not to protest their own government.
