The Interior Ministry yesterday launched a criminal investigation after an Israeli-Canadian businessman was killed in Alexandria on Tuesday. The man was reportedly a permanent resident of the country, the ministry said in a statement. The circumstances surrounding the man's death are unclear, with a security source telling Reuters he had been killed “with the motive of robbery,” while a group called Vanguard of the Liberation for Martyr Mohamed Salah said on its telegram channel that it had killed the man, accusing him of being an agent of Israel's spy agency Mossad.
