Translated By Priscilla Adum
The below news story appeared in the newspaper Al Ahram on Saturday December 9, 1905. A woman named Baheya who was connected to the incident inspired modern-day songs with "Baheya" in the name.

Regarding the incident, the government stated that el-Aabadi had committed theft twice on the 28th of August and had also murdered a member of the police force in Aswan. In November he commited armed robbery in Qena, then escaped to the hills. The police ordered a manhunt and a group of the Khafr el Sawahel located him in Aswan. When they attempted to apprehend him, el-Aabadi opened fire on them and injured some of their camels. They responded with gunfire, and they shot and killed him. |
