Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi visited Cairo last week and asked Egypt to help convince Arab and Muslim countries to deploy troops in Iraq and help protect the UN mission in the country.
..."The group said the abduction was in response to comments by Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif that Cairo was ready to offer its security experience to the interim Iraqi government," the Arabic television said.
But shortly after the kidnap announcement, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit made it clear that his country was absolutely not considering sending troops to Iraq .

Allawi is warning Egypt not to negotiate with terrorists, as the coalition of the willing dwindles.
"The only way to deal with terrorists is to bring them to justice and to close ranks and we hope that Egypt and the Egyptian government would act accordingly," Allawi told a news conference in the Syrian capital.
