CAIRO, 28 September 2003 — Two Libyans standing trial in Egypt pleaded not guilty to “insulting and aggressing” a public official for allegedly trying to attack Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal in a Cairo hotel. Fathi Beshir Saad, 25, and Mahmud Al-Beshir Ahmad, 27, were arrested by Egyptian security forces after they confronted Prince Saud on Sept. 8 in a hotel lobby as he was on his way to an Arab League meeting.
