Egypt in UK airport row
Egypt: Monday, April 14 - 2008 at 07:35
Egypt has said it will search British personalities going through its airports after Pope Shenouda III, Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church, was made to go through a metal detector at Heathrow Airport in London. The 84 year old, who was opening a catholic church in the UK, was also told he would undergo a body search, but officials backed down after he objected. A strongly worded statement sent to the UK government said that if high level Egyptian figures are subject to such treatment, it would exert 'tit for tat' on British personalities.
