Dad accused of kidnapping 2-year-old daughter; he says "he does not know where she is" (Whitefield, England, United Kingdom)

I hate kidnapping daddies like SABER MESBAH SABRA who play these cutesy-poo games: " I don't know where she is!" My @$$.

Mum flies abroad in her search for ‘abducted’ girl
2:40pm Sunday 4th October 2009

A GRIEF-stricken mum is to embark on a 2,000-mile mission to find her missing daughter.

Leila Sabra, aged 32, from Whitefield, claims young daughter A’ishah was kidnapped by her father, Saber Mesbah Sabra, from a cafe in Egypt in May.

However, Saber denies abducting her, saying he does not know where A’ishah is.

In a bid to trace her daughter, Leila will fly to Egypt tomorrow.

Friends have formed a campaign group on social networking website Facebook called Bring 2yr old A’ishah Sabra Home! It has so far gained 100 members.

Leila has received dozens of messages of support and the cast of Coronation Street has publicly backed her.

Leila said: “My immediate priority is A’ishah’s health. I need to know exactly who has got her.

“I will fly out and demand action through the courts. Our written custody agreement clearly states that I have custody of A’ishah.”

Leila and Saber met in 2005. A’ishah was born in Manchester in 2007 and the couple lived in Egypt before divorcing in 2008.

Part of the custody agreement meant Leila would take A’ishah to Egypt each year so she could see her father.

Leila said: “A’ishah is a British girl with a British passport who has been missing for four months. I am asking every authority there is to help me get her back.”

She has met with Bury South MP Ivan Lewis, who is also a Minister of State (Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs).

He said: “I think it is a terrible and tragic situation. If any child at that age is separated from their mother, it is not just sad, but it is a great cause of concern.

“Leila will have a lot of support from the British Consulate when she arrives in Egypt.

“We have got to make it clear to the Egyptian Government that we, the British Government, are concerned about the kidnapping or disappearance of a British child.”
