Egyptian Interior Minister Habib Al-Adli has confirmed that the 25 arrested members of Al-Jihad Organization support Al-Qaeda, but do not belong to Osama bin Laden's network. 

 

Al-Adli told the Egyptian magazine l-Musawar, issued on Friday, that though they are not part of Al-Qaeda they support its goals and were ready to participate in Jihad operations in Afghanistan with Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters.
