The nation’s columnists are squarely focused on a weekend terror attack that left at least 16 members of the police service dead. The lack of transparency in official news on the attack is difficult to understand or excuse, as it only magnifies the confusion surrounding the incident, Ahmed Abd Rabbo says in a column for Al Shorouk. Mohamed Amin and Dina Abdel Karim were of the same mind, writing in two separate pieces for Al-Masry Al-Youm that official media failed in covering the incident just as security failed to prevent it. The need to enhance security also featured prominently. Al Masry Al Youm’s Amr El Shobaky said the interior minister should be the first to go, stressing that his shortcomings that allowed the attack to happen, while AMAY’s May Azzam and El Watan’s Emad Gad point out “infiltrators” and “spies” providing information to terrorist cells who must be weeded out.
