He offered few details to CNN about the details of her release.<\/p>\n<p>Kidnapping is extremely rare in Egypt. And the targeting of a prominent political family is likely to raise fears in a country struggling with instability after the revolution that ousted Hosni Mubarak in early February.<\/p>\n<p>Zein Sadat denied there were political motives for the kidnapping, saying the suspects appeared &#8220;unprofessional.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anwar Sadat was assassinated in 1981.<\/p>\n<p><!--endclickprintinclude--><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br \/>\n<!-- \/cnn_strybtmcntnt --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/cnn_strycntnt --><\/p>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"4.5725806451613\">\n<div readability=\"3.7692307692308\">\n<p>Part of complete coverage on<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"4.4869565217391\">\n<div readability=\"5.2347826086957\">\n<p>Follow CNN correspondents on the ground as they report on conflict in the Arab world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"5.5993150684932\">\n<div readability=\"7.4657534246575\">\n<p>Eman al-Obeidy, who openly accused Moammar Gadhafi&#8217;s men of rape, became a face of the anti-Gadhafi movement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"4.8292682926829\">\n<div readability=\"5.6341463414634\">\n<p>Reza Sayah gets an exclusive interview with opposition military spokesman Colonel Ahmed Omar Bani.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"5.6102941176471\">\n<div readability=\"7.2132352941176\">\n<p>The past couple of weeks have proved that Libya is much more divided than the world feared, says one expert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"4.32\">\n<div readability=\"5.04\">\n<p>Fear has been one of the biggest hurdles for those pushing for political change in Syria.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"5.4646017699115\">\n<div readability=\"6.7256637168142\">\n<p>For full coverage in Arabic of events in North Africa and the Middle East, head to CNN Arabic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"5.208\">\n<div readability=\"6.696\">\n<p>Libya&#8217;s flamboyant leader, Moammar Gadhafi, has ruled the north African nation for 42 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"6.1046511627907\">\n<div readability=\"8.1395348837209\">\n<p>Peter Bergen says Anwar Al-Awlaki, an al Qaeda leader, disagrees that al Qaeda is a loser in the unrest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/cnn_strycrcntr --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/cnn_strycntntrgt --><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>[Read more here|Read the original here|Read more from the original source|Continued here|Read more|More here|View original post here|More|See more here|See original here|Originally posted here|Here is the original post|See the original post|The rest is here|Read the rest here|See the rest here|Go here to read the rest|Go here to see the original|See the original post here|Read the original post|Original post|Read the original|Link|Excerpt from|View post|Visit link|Follow this link|Continue reading here|See the article here|Read this article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Ivan Watson and Mohamed Fadel Fahmy , CNN Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was assassinated in 1981.
