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.
"The (U.S.) embassy told its citizens "there might be groups gathering in both celebrations and protest" in the areas of Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, Rabaa Al-Adaweya Mosque in Nasr City, Nahda Square by Cairo University in Giza, as well as other universities and governmental institutions."
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.
