I got back to Amman yesterday, on a flight from Cairo with the Jordanian delegation. In a goodbye kiss from the Egyptian government, 11 convoy members were arrested at the airport, which had a heavy riot police presence. They included several of my friends who were taken prisoner in Al-Arish, along with several Turks who had been involved in trouble at Rafah on Friday. As of yet, I haven't heard anything about their release, but once I do I will update their situation here.
Over the next few days I'll be updating my blog with back-dated entries of what happened, starting with my experience in Egypt. I won't be able to put the full details of what happened on the blog right now, as I will be writing about the events for several newspapers and magazines and I don't want to be duplicating text. For now, here's an article which I wrote which was published while I was away, which describes the convoy's reception in Amman. http://tinyurl.com/yetdbao
