    "Thousands of prisoners have escaped from the Wadi Natrun facility in north of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, amid the anti-government protests across the country.

    Inmates overwhelmed guards during the night, breaking out of the facility and spilling out into nearby towns and villages, AFP reported.

    The facility is said to be holding most political prisoners in the North African country.

    The report comes as the uprising against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's government entered its sixth day.

    On Sunday, some 5,000 Egyptian prisoners also broke out of a penitentiary in Faiyum Governorate, located about 130 kilometers (81 miles) southwest of Cairo.

    A top official holding the rank of general was killed in the early Sunday incident. "

    Those prisoners are being sprung. Who or which group has the most to gain from this uprising? If I were an Egyptian, that is what I would be looking at, instead of thinking it is a popular movement. Russian involvement? Who can say.

    Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people did not take to the streets because of Russian machinations. Remember how this all started, in Tunisia.

    True, but the US stands to gain nothing and potentially lose from these developments. Sadat kicked the KGB out. Always look behind the scenes. I would bet many Iranians wish they had never heard of Khomeini either.

  7. Israeli, U.S. generals taking control in Egypt

    TEHRAN – Two senior Israeli officers and three U.S. generals have arrived in Cairo to take control of the military command in Egypt, an anonymous source has told the Tehran Times.

    The command council is headed by a general named Sisson, the source said. One of the options that the generals are weighing is staging a military coup in Egypt.

    The decision shows that the United States and Israel are seriously worried about the fate of Hosni Mubarak’s regime as unprecedented protests have gripped Egypt.

    Israel has officially announced that it is “anxiously monitoring” developments in Egypt.

    The Mubarak regime has been an important ally of Israel and the U.S. in the region and its collapse would be a great strategic loss for the two countries.
