It is not the first time that such an incident has taken place in Egypt. A few weeks back a petrol station called Emirate-Egypt in Karmouz, Alexandreria, was also set ablaze. One person was caught by the police.
A couple of days prior to that one of the leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, was seen asking their followers to attack all business interest of Egypt through a television channel broadcasted from Turkey.
