Tripoli, 17 February 2015(Lana) Egyptian opposition figures lambasted President Abdul Fattah Al Sisi for the murder of 21 Egyptians by the ISIS group in Libya, saying his decision to intervene on the side of Hafter forces in the Libyan conflict triggered the killings. Some said they were puzzled by Cairo's dealing with this issue and ignoring the stadium events, despite the fact that similar number of causalities occurred at the Zamalek Enbi match. The American CNN news channel quoted Abdul Rahman Yusuf, a political activist as saying 'we extend condolences to all Egyptians and indeed to ourselves for the assassination of 21 Egyptians by a deranged group, and shame on the regime which ignored the kidnapped, and helped make them a political pawn by its intervention in an internal conflict.' The prominent journalist Qutb Al Arabi said 'I utterly condemn the killing of Egyptian Christians in Libya as I condemned the killing of our people in Sinai before and the protesters because they had nothing to do with the crime of supporting the coup and authorizing the killer.' The Justice and Freedom Party blamed Al Sisi for what happened for what happened. 'Sisi and ISIS are two faces for the same coin, he said. 'What happened to Egyptians in Libya is the responsibility of Sisi and leaders of the coup, because of their support for the leader of the coup Hafter, he added. =Lana=
