Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Minister Abdul Halim Moussa (Шаблон:Lang-ar; c. 1930 – 2003) was an Egyptian police major general and interior minister who was in office from 1990 to 1993.
Early life and education
Moussa was born around 1930.[1] He graduated from the police academy in 1954.[2]
Career and activities
Moussa served as a director of public security and held the rank of police major general.[3] He was named governor of the southern province of Asyut.[2][3] He was appointed minister of interior by President Hosni Mubarak in January 1990, replacing Zaki Badr in the post.[1][2] Moussa's appointment was commonly welcomed by the Egyptian public.[4] Unlike his successor, he adopted a conciliatory approach toward Islamic groups during his term.[1]
In December 1992, Moussa argued that there were more than 2,000 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards in Sudan and that they were training Egyptian extremists in the camps.[5] In early April 1993 he supported the establishment of a mediation committee by the independent ulemas who opposed the violent activities of the Islamists.[6] Moussa's term lasted until 18 April 1993 when he was fired by Mubarak due to his failure in ending the violence perpetrated by Islamic insurgents[7][8] and due to his endorsement of the ulemas' mediation committee plan.[6] The day before his dismissal Moussa stated that a dialogue had been opened towards the Islamic militants.[9] Hassan Al Alfi replaced Moussa as interior minister.[7][8]
Assassination attempts
Moussa escaped unhurt after four assassination attempts all by the Egyptian Islamic Jihad when he was in office as interior minister.[10] The first attempt was in October 1990.[11] However, not Moussa but the parliamentary speaker Rif'at al-Mahjub was killed in the attack.[11] In the last attempt, Moussa's driver, who was a relative of the group, was killed and perpetrators apologized to the family of the driver.[10]
Controversy
Zaki Badr, Moussa's successor as interior minister, accused him of corruption and wrongdoing in January 1994.[12]
Death
Moussa was diagnosed with cancer in 2002.[2] He died of cancer at the age of 73 in Cairo on 19 July 2003.[1]
