Dispatch those sons of apes and pigs to the Hellfire, on the wings of the Qassam rockets... Jihad is our path... The [Jews]... deserve to be killed. They deserve to die. Destroy... everything over there” (to view this clip, visit http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/1972.htm ).

WARDEN MESSAGE: NORTHERN SINAI (EGYPT) SECURITY INCIDENTS
U.S. Embassy Cairo released the following Warden Message on January 14:
Local media are reporting that there have been calls for demonstrations in front of the U.S. Embassy at 5 Tawfik Diab Street (formerly known as Latin America Street), Garden City, Cairo on Jan 15 and for a general strike on Jan 18. If these actions do take place they may lead to some road closures and traffic disruption in the general vicinity of the US Embassy. The police preparations might cause similar traffic disruptions. As always, we strongly urge American citizens to avoid areas where you see heavy police presence or crowds assembling and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any large public gatherings. As a reminder, even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence.
American citizens are advised to maintain valid travel documents and register with the Department of State or the U.S. Embassy Cairo through the State Department travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov. For further information, U.S. citizens may call the Embassys American Citizen Services Unit at 2797-2301 during business hours, Sunday to Thursday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. For emergencies after business hours and on weekends and holidays, U.S. citizens can contact the Embassy Duty Officer via the Embassy switchboard on 2797-3300. The Embassy is located at 5 Tawfik Diab Street (formerly known as Latin America Street), Garden City, Cairo.
