Secular democracy breaking out all over. "Egypt releases two Sadat murder convicts: state TV," from AFP, March 11:
CAIRO — Egypt's new military rulers have ordered the release of two Islamist prisoners jailed over the 1981 assassination of president Anwar Sadat, state TV reported on Friday.
Cousins Tareq and Abbud al-Zomor, members of Egypt's Islamic Jihad, were convicted in 1981 for their involvement in Sadat's murder but were never released after their sentences expired.
Former interior minister Habib al-Adly had used discretionary powers granted by the emergency law to overrule several judicial release orders....
Islamic fundamentalists had condemned Sadat for being the first Arab leader to sign a peace deal with Israel in 1979.
