Friday, January 28, 2011BBC: Egyptian Tanks Surround US, UK Embassies
Posted by Thomas Ferdousi at 4:39 PM Email This BlogThis! Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Google Buzz

The BBC is reporting that Egyptian Army tanks have allegedly surrounded the embassies of the United States and United Kingdom. This comes after Israel evacuated its entire embassy staff via helicopter. This is coming in through their live blog, and further details appear scarce. The BBC is quoting an al-Jazeera cable:
2125: Tanks have surrounded the US and British embassies in Cairo, Al-Jazeera reports.This could be a huge, huge problem. This is similar to 1979 when the Islamic rebels took the US Embassy and held hostages for 444 days.
UPDATE: The British Foreign Office appears to be reacting:
British Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Suez.
