2015 Cairo restaurant fire

On December 4, 2015, a molotov cocktail was thrown into the El Sayad restaurant in Cairo, Egypt.

[1] The prime perpetrators were two young men who were denied entry by the club's security personnel at the door on Thursday night.

The duo with the aid of two others then came back at 6:00 a.m. on Friday to the restaurant & bar, named Al-Sayyad, with a Molotov cocktail.

They picked a fight with door security and then threw the firebomb inside the club before fleeing the scene.

[6] Investigations revealed that the emergency exit door was locked with chains, contributing to the high death toll.
