SS Lt. Colonel Hani Talaat, also known as “Gaafar,” worked at the dissolved SS, as part of its “Central Investigations Unit.” His name was mentioned in the case of Sayyed Bilal’s death under torture, and reportedly still keeps his job at Homeland Security, the successor of SS.

In a country of roughly 85 million people, one third of whom are illiterate:

The number of mobile phone subscriptions in Egypt grew by 22 per cent to 81.7 million users in the year to November, government figures showed on Sunday.
The number of mobile phone subscriptions in October was 80.9 million.
In November 2010, Egypt’s three mobile operators, Etisalat Egypt, Mobinil and the Egyptian unit of Vodafone, had 66.87 million subscriptions.
