Egypt's most influential opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, says it will enter talks with officials on ending the country's political crisis.
The group told Reuters the talks would begin on Sunday and would assess how far the government was "ready to accept the demands of the people".
The negotiations would be the first ever to be held between the government and the officially banned Brotherhood.
President Hosni Mubarak has rejected protesters' demands that he quit now.
Mr Mubarak - who has been in office since 1981, tolerating little dissent - has said he will not stand in elections due in September.
Huge crowds have been on the streets of Cairo and other cities in the past few weeks demanding his immediate resignation and calling for democratic reforms.
The Muslim Brotherhood had previously said it would not take part in negotiations between the government and opposition groups.
But a spokesman told Reuters: "We have decided to engage in a round of dialogue to ascertain the seriousness of officials towards the demands of the people and their willingness to respond to them."
A spokesman told the AFP news agency the dialogue was also aimed at ending "foreign or regional interference" in the situation.

OOps, it was a truncated link, sorry. Here it is:
The claim in the SF Gate article is that he is being held by the Muslm radicals; but who knows the truth is; obviously Wael Ghonim himself knows. Supposedly he went to Egypt to participate in the demonstrations.
Pray for Middle East....that all tyrants and tyrannical people be put down by God.

Thanks, lj. Maybe he’s reporting back to 0bama?
Now that’s a thought; very likely, or sending messages on behalf of 0h0m0.
A under the radar thing. “Being held” my ***. He went there!

Egypt’s False Prophet

Iran:
In a letter to Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najar, Mousavi and Karroubi have asked him to issue a permit for demonstrations in support of the revolution in Egypt on Monday, February 14. That has put the hardliners in a very difficult position. If they do not grant the permit, their stream of propaganda promoting their supposed support of the Egyptian people will be exposed as hollow and meaningless. But if they do issue the permit, the Green Movement will have an opportunity to demonstrate its strength.
Anyone in doubt that this democarcy movement in Egypt is a scam, just look at a few facts, unreported by the MSM.
