Received a message from friend in Cairo that she was going because the Muslim Brotherhood had threatened the supporters of General el Sissi to stay away.

This is the 3rd anniversary of the overthrow of Mubarak. Arabs are strong on significance of dates.

Expect more violence from the Muslim Brotherhood supporters today. And I expect the Egyptian Army will respond strongly.

I hope the State Department is being extra vigilant, and closely monitoring ISPs and youtube outlets, the source of any spontaneous trouble spots.

The reason they were not in Benghazi, was the presence of the CIA warehouse near the Mission. They knew the risk then and now.

I can only pray that God will protect the forces for good in Egypt and that they will be safe. The Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists will do anything to regain power. Much like their benefactors in the the Obozo Administration will do anything to stay in power.
