Egypt Extremist Arrested on Return from Syria
Hani Shahine had fought in the ranks of the so-called "Al-Nusra Front", Al-Qaida's franchise in Syria, the interior ministry said.

He was arrested in Al-Gharbiya province, 100 kilometers [60 miles] north of Cairo, the ministry said.

It said Shahine's assignment was to "train [extremist] elements in the production and use of explosives", and that his arrest had led to five terrorist cells being dismantled.
