Former Toronto bank teller Mohamed el-Attar flashes a victory sign to reporters on April 21 before a judge in Cairo found him guilty of spying for Israel and sentenced him to 15 years in prison. The Egyptian Canadian made a confession in prison but now says it was forced out of him with torture.
This story just hit me funny. A teller banker. Had information important enough to take it to Israel? Whom in Israel would listen to a teller banker? And if this is all true, what did he tell Israel that mattered? Something about how Egypt was 'dealing under the table' with Palestine? None of it sounds very kosher. Maybe it's me. It's just that Egypt and Jordan were asked to host the next Peace Summit with Israel by the Arab League. Hm?
