CAIRO – Egypt's government is denying that the newly named vice president was targeted in an assassination attempt.

A government statement says a stray bullet from an exchange of fire between "criminal elements" struck the lead car in Vice President Omar Suleiman's motorcade as it moved through an area of disturbances on Jan. 28.

The statement said Saturday that the vice president was not injured. It said there was no evidence he was intentionally targeted and referred to the shooting as a random incident.

First, there was a report of an assassination attempt. Gibbs didn't want to "get into that." Then, there was no attempt. Now, it was "just a random incident."

Took them long enough to get their BS story together.

If you watch Gibbs, he hadn’t even heard about it...kinda like when the media set George W up on gas ‘going to $4’ a gallon..
