American Stabbed Outside U.S. Embassy in Cairo
An American man was stabbed in the stomach outside the gates of the United States embassy in Cairo on Thursday, a security source said.
The victim was in an “unstable condition” at a Cairo hospital and an Egyptian arrested over the attack had refused to give any details about his motive, the source told Reuters.
U.S. embassy spokesman David Ranz confirmed the attack and said the American was not affiliated with the embassy.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
