Egypt police arrest 130 over Israeli embassy attack

Egyptian police have so far arrested 130 people for alleged involvement into Friday's attack on the Israeli embassy in Cairo, Egyptian state-run media said. Israel is now facing its worst crisis with Egypt for 30 years after a violent mob stormed its embassy in Cairo on Friday.Arrests continued throughout the weekend. A total of 92 people were arrested on charges of rioting in front of the Israeli Embassy, bringing the number of detainees to 130, the state-run MENA news agency said. The cases of 38 detainees are about to be referred to the Emergency State Security Court. Investigation into other suspects' involvement is still ongoing. On Friday, after rallying in Cairo's Tahrir Square, some protestors marched towards the Israeli embassy. They partially destroyed a concrete wall outside the embassy, ripped down the Israeli flag and set several police cars on fire.Last month, Egyptians staged mass protests outside the embassy and called for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador following the border deaths of five Egyptian policemen accidentally killed on August 18 as an Israeli helicopter hunted a group of militants near the Egyptian border.
