The International Airport in Asyut today received the body of Captain Ahmed Galal Abdel Kader, a military officer killed in clashes with Israeli military forces yesterday at the Egyptian-Israeli border. The family of Kader along with a number of leaders from the Asyut Directorate of Security received the body of the fallen captain. The funeral services will be held at Nasser Mosque in Asyut. Hundreds of people demonstrated in front of the mosque earlier waving Palestinian and Egyptian flags and demanding justice for those killed by Israeli forces. A brief altercation took place at the airport after security officials denied the family access to the VIP lounge to wait for the body to arrive. Emad El Kady, a national security official at the airport, intervened and opened the lounge to the family.
