Luxor Massacre
Time: Monday Nov 17, 1997
Place: Deir el-Bahari, Qesm Al Wahat Al Khargah, Egypt
Details: While there Zawahiri learned of a "Nonviolence Initiative" being organized in Egypt to end the terror campaign that had killed hundreds and resulting government crackdown that had imprisoned thousands. Zawahiri angrily opposed this "surrender" in letters to the London newspaper Al-Sharq al-Awsat. Together with members of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, he helped organize a massive attack on tourists at the Temple of Hatshepsut to sabotage the initiative by provoking the government into repression. The attack by six men dressed in police uniforms succeeded in machine-gunning and hacking to death 58 foreign tourists and four Egyptians.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
