What happened to the Supreme Anti-Terrorism Council? The council currently stands as an example of the reactionary measures Egypt takes following terror attacks that seem like a good idea at first, but suffer from a lack of follow-up, Alaa El Ghatrifi writes for Al Masry Al Youm. Although the council was meant to meet twice per month and formulate a comprehensive national strategy to combat terrorism, it has failed to fulfill its mandate since its formation back in July, El Ghatrifi says. He points out that the council has only held one meeting, and we are only reminded of its existence when one of its members appears on TV.
