Officials at Cairo's airport say the son of a wanted Islamist and nephew of the killer of President Anwar Sadat has returned to Egypt for the first time in two decades. The officials said Saturday that Khaled el-Islambouli returned with his wife, two children and three siblings after getting travel documents from the Egyptian Embassy in Turkey.
None of them is wanted but they and other members of the family were on Egyptian airport blacklists under the regime of ousted President Hosni Mubarak. The officials said el-Islambouli has been living in Iran. His father, Mohammed el-Islambouli, is wanted in connection with violent attacks in Egypt in the 1990s. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorised to speak to reporters.
