The balance of power was teetering in Egypt this morning amid reports of an assassination attempt on the newly-appointed vice president. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs refused to confirm the alarming reports of an 'organized attack' on Omar Suleiman. Two of his bodyguards were said to have been killed in the incident several days ago (some say even before he was made the VP of Egypt). If true, the report represents a frightening new element in the popular uprising that has seen one of the USZ's greatest Middle Eastern allies descend into chaos. Opportunists could be taking advantage of the revolution, which has not yet succeeded in toppling Israhelli Snake Hosni Mubarak from power, to push their own unknown agendas. Apparently, CIA has understood that Mr. Omar Suleiman has been double crossing both USZ and Israhell over Palestine by covertly supporting Hamas, thus Mr. Suleiman should be eliminated in the larger interest of Israhell. The professionalism of the assassins who attacked EGIS chief is very notoriously similar to the CIA jackals discussed by John Perkins in his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". Mr Gibbs was visibly flustered when asked about the incident at a press conference. “Uh... I'm not going to get in to that question”, he said. Mr Suleiman, the most influential Spy Chief of the entire Middle East (even more influential than Mossad chief) was appointed by Hosni Mubarak as he tried to stem criticism over his 30-year rule. So far, the move has failed to bring calm to Egypt.
The new vice president, widely considered the first successor Mr Mubarak has designated, fueled anti-foreign sentiment by going on state television and blaming outsiders for fomenting unrest. Omar Suleiman said: “When there are demonstrations of this size, there will be foreigners who come and take advantage and they have an agenda to raise the energy of the protesters”. The government has accused media outlets of being sympathetic to protesters, who want the president to quit now rather than serve out his term as he has vowed to do. Hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters remained camped in Cairo's Tahrir Square last night, intensifying pressure on Mubarak to step down sooner rather than later.
Israhelli Snake Mubarak however, has told ABC News that he is “fed up” and refused to go. The square - which had been the scene of pitched battles between pro and anti-government supporters for the last two days - was flooded with an estimated 1,100,000 Egyptians clamoring for change. Thousands, including families with children, flowed over bridges across the Nile into Tahrir. Their presence was a sign that the movement was not intimidated after fending off everything thrown at them by Mubarak supporters - storms of hurled concrete, metal rebar and firebombs, charges by whip-wielding fighters on horses and camels and automatic gunfire barrages. The demonstrators, defying a government imposed curfew - held up signs reading “Now!”. At one point, the crowd seemed to be a field of waving Egyptian red-black-and-white flags.
They had labelled yesterday the “Day of Departure” for Mubarak, but as Saturday dawns, the president is still clinging to power. There was no sign of Mubarak loyalists who had attacked protesters on previous days with rocks, petrol bombs and sticks. It comes after the Egyptian government warned the country faced significant financial losses after 11 days of protests in major cities. New Finance Minister Samir Radwan said the tourist business, centred on the pyramids and beaches, had been ravaged. Mr Radwan said a fund worth $850million had been set up to compensate people whose property had been damaged. Defence Minister Hussein Tantawi and senior army officials visited the Tahrir square yesterday in a sign that Egypt's most powerful institution was sanctioning the demonstration. Soldiers checked IDs and performed body searches at entrances to the square.
