Extra security for Israeli ambassador’s return to Cairo

Special security arrangements were laid on for the new Israeli ambassador to Cairo Haim Koren when he arrived in Cairo Sunday, three years after Salafi and al Qaeda raiders torched the embassy building and the last ambassador and staff were evacuated in September 2011.  Ambassador Koren arrived with a staff of seven, including the new consul.
