Egypt asked the international police organization to arrest three Israelis it accuses of being part of a spy ring, a judicial official said Monday.
Egypt's state security prosecutor on Saturday charged a 26-year-old Egyptian and three Israelis with spying for Israel and harming national interests. Authorities arrested the Egyptian, Mohammed al-Attar, on Jan. 1 after he returned to Cairo from abroad.
The three Israelis remain at large, and Egypt's prosecutor general has instructed the Interior Ministry to request Interpol to arrest them, said the judicial official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said Israeli authorities learned about the case from the media and added, "We have no knowledge whatsoever of these allegations or of the people involved."
