al-Gama'a al-Islamiya

OBS: The al-Gama'a al-Islamiya is an Islamic opposition group whose aim is to overflow the government of President Hosni Mubarak. The al-Gama'a al-Islamiya is not a single group; it has become factionalized. The original group has broken down into smaller factions, in part due to the imprisonment and/or exile of its leaders (ABC Nightline 3 Dec. 1997).
