Dozens of extremist Muslim fundamentalists were arrested for allegedly turning an Egyptian religious summer school into a terrorist training camp for youths, a security source said in Cairo. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said police arrested 57 people in breaking up the school at Zagazig, the capital of the Nile Delta province of Sharkiya. The source said that about 40 boys--ages 7 to 15--were recruited by extremists who “trained them in the use of violence and incited them with lectures to hate the present system of government.”
