The latest issue of AWST has page-long article on this investigation.They say "Egyptian authorities are slow in doling out information ..".Also "French authorities are believed to be insisting on more transparency"."Concerns about a potential negative effect on Egypt's tourism trade may be behind the reluctance to release information".Michael J.
