Al-Azhar Involved in Money Laundering for State Security

Al-Masry al-Youm reported yesterday that Al-Azhar was paying substantial sums of money to 60 generals in state security, with payments being fully documented on al-Azhar’s books.  This seems to be a clear case of money-laundering for the benefit of state security: why would al-Azhar undertake such a policy on its own?  This leads to the likelihood that other governmental agencies were used in a similar manner to transfer resources to the security apparatus and other regime insiders.
