Egyptian authorities are barring several U.S. citizens — including Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s son — from leaving the country after Egyptian government forces raided the offices of Washington-backed groups monitoring recent parliamentary elections there.
Sam LaHood is director of the Egyptian program for the International Republican Institute, a nongovernmental organization with close ties to GOP congressional leadership. He attempted to board an airplane in Cairo on Saturday to leave the country but was told he was on a “no-fly list” and was refused permission to depart.

RI, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House were among 17 foreign NGOs raided by Egyptian security forces on Dec. 29. Egyptian security forces reportedly seized computers, documents and tens of thousands of dollars in cash during the raid. They shut down the NGOs’ offices and, until now, have not allowed them to reopen. Some employees, including Americans, were questioned by Egyptian investigators, with some being threatened with imprisonment if they didn’t cooperate. (politico.com).
