Capture of Husrev & Damietta
Muhammad Ali gave control over the Cairo citadel to his Mameluke allies. Soon after, they marched against Husrev Pasha, who had been joined by a considerable number of Turks in a well-fortified position at Damietta. Hursev was defeated, captured, and brought to Cairo by the Albanians. The bashi-bazouks sacked Damietta, but Husrev was treated with respect.

Famous quotes containing the word capture:
“Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free- floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader’s full attention.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
