 According to Saqr's attorney, it has never been proven that he is related to the Egyptian embassy bombing and was never accused as such by Egyptian authorities.In August, three weeks after the 1998 United States embassy bombings, a wiretapped phone call tipped off the Israeli Mossad that a rendez-vous between Saqr and an Iranian MOIS official was planned in Baku, Azerbaijan.Other sources dismiss the existence of any Iranian officials and limits the telephone call to communication between Ihab and Essam while coordinating a meeting point.
