The organisation which later claimed responsibility-an unknown ‘International Group for Justice’—is reportedly linked with the Jihad Islamist organisation in Egypt. Mr Nazmi’s murder was carried out in the early evening in Geneva, Switzerland, the hiding place of Jihad’s exiled leader, Ayman Al-Zawahri. The organisation claimed to be taking revenge for arrested Islamist colleagues being tried in military courts in Egypt. More ominously, however, it vowed to kill many more Egyptian diplomats. Less than a week later, the Egyptian embassy in Karachi, Pakistan, was devastated by a bomb which killed seventeen people. In this case, three different Islamist groups hastened to claim the ‘honour’. It would come as no great surprise were it to be revealed that the killers were Egyptians, trained in Afghanistan, who had acquired Russian, Czech, or American weapons from a European country.
