Although the arrests affected the group's activities, the report said its leaders did not halt political action. It argued that the Brotherhood did not only use the Labour Party's newspaper Al-Shaab as a channel to express its views but also resorted to the Internet. The latter piece of information is not totally accurate, however. The Brotherhood does not have an official website, though there is an anonymously-hosted home page that contains some information on the group. The report also reviews developments within the radical Islamist groups, their activities and their relationship with the government.
Special attention is devoted to terrorist operations they have carried out.
Lengthy tables listing all the terrorist attacks that took place in 1996 are published from pages 243 to 264. The number of victims, the dates, sites and details of each operation are also listed. The report reveals that much of the information in this chapter became available after jailed Gama'a leaders issued their call for a unilateral cease-fire in July 1997. The call, which was rejected by the expatriates, exposed the nature of the relationship between them and Gama'a leaders inside Egypt, the report says. A similar study focuses on activist expatriate Copts, but the report admits the fact that the available information on them is inadequate.
