Montasser Al-Zayyat said that about 2000 Egyptians were living in Afghanistan. About 500 of them were members in Al-Qa´ida organization. He denied that America has financed the Arab-Afghans in their war against the Soviets. He added that the situation of the Islamic groups became more dangerous after the September 11 attacks. If the different Islamic groups are not able to come through this period, they will face a long stage of weakness.
