Egyptian security officials on Monday arrested one of 22 prisoners who escaped prison after being accused of spying for Hizbullah. The prisoners escaped during the uprising against Hosni Mubarak, and have been at large for months.
The captured prisoner, Hassan al-Manahli, had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for spying for Hizbullah and planning terror attacks in Egypt. He was arrested after he appeared on an interview panel on TV.
