Petrol bombs thrown at protest near Egypt Museum

Share:

Petrol bombs were thrown in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Wednesday, a Reuters witness said. An Egyptologist said some had landed in the gardens of a museum housing the world’s greatest collection of Pharaonic treasures.

The Egyptian museum itself however was unscathed.

The Egyptologist, who had been in contact with Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, said it seemed the petrol bombs were being thrown by protesters demonstrating in favour of President Hosni Mubarak.

“So far the museum is safe, but we don’t know what’s going to happen, because the Mubarak supporters are out of control,” the Egyptologist, who declined to be identified, added.

Looters broke into the Egyptian Museum on Friday evening, smashing several statues and damaging two mummies.

The army moved to extinguish the flames, a source from the Ministry of Defence told Reuters. Army fire engines were called to the scene to ensure that fire did no damage to “army property”, the source said. Reuters

    Rumors has it that Mubark is holed up in his winter residence at Sharm-el-Sheikh.
    According to the Telegraph ; “Locals in Sharm-el-Sheikh convinced Mubarak is holed up there.
    Workers in the resort of Sharm-el-Sheikh are convinced Hosni Mubarak is holed up in his winter residence after fleeing rioters in Cairo.

    The president is a frequent visitor to the resort and has hosted a number of world leaders there at his home, which is located inside the sprawling complex of a golf hotel.
    Last night the long entrance driveway to the residence was guarded by a small number of armed police who turned away all approaching vehicles.
    At the nearby main public entrance to the Maritim Jolie Ville Golf Hotel, guards refused to answer questions about the whether Mubarak was at home.
    A worker walking home from the hotel said: “You are not safe here.
    Everyone says he is here and so they are watching for people taking photographs.

    “I think he is there because otherwise in Cairo he will be killed.
    “The crowds will not get him in Sharm because the roads all the way from Cairo are heavily guarded by roadblocks.
    “There are not enough people here to cause him harm, and too many police.”
    A tourist shuttle bus driver claimed to have seen Mubarak’s entourage arrive on Wednesday, and that his official plane was at Sharm-el-Sheikh airport but nobody at the airport would confirm if this was true.
    A number of military aircraft were visible from the perimeter fence, but the airport is frequently used by the armed forces for operations and for public air shows.”

    This explain his stuborness,and comfort that the protesters won’t be able to get to him.

        This is just a hunch, but I gather that you really don’t like Prophet.

        NABIL,
        Your such an ignorant person..I decided long time ago not to read or reply to anything you post ,because I find your comments full of ignorance and hatred.You decided to reply to my comments,otherwise I would not have wasted my time .Therefore, I tell you this very clearly; Fxxk the Sunnis and the Shiia ( hope your happy now). I don’t give a damn about your Sunnism , my Shiism,or any religion ism . I can’t stand any one who wears his faith or sect on his shoulder ,and walks around with it. It is sick sectarian people like you ,who are destroying Lebanon.
        If you can’t have an intelligent debate, you should give up posting the same crab all day long. Your comments contribute nothing to this forum ,except recycled crab.If it makes you feel better having few other idiots agreeing with you, then , be happy , I won’t ask you to give up the only thing that boosts your ego,and makes you delusion-ally happy.

          Prophet you’re the ignorant one and if you’re Prophet then you would be wise. Instead when know M8 won by force not because they earned it. You say they won anyway. that tells me you’re not just ignorant and unwise and arrogant just like your masters HA. i don’t care if you respond to me or not. everyone here knows your opinion very well. they know how sneaky you are and such a hypocrite anyway. I will attack you in every post you put here and again i don’t care if you respond or not. I will not let up on you because i know you hide behind sheep clothing. Next time trying calling yourself the Devil its much more honest than what you call youserlf now.

      You’re not M8, but mere mention of the great holy Hassoun is more powerful than Viagra when it comes to stimulating your tongue. False Prophet, I suggest you take a back seat and let people who know what Democracy is about converse on this forum that favors a free and united Lebanon, as opposed to the surrogate Iranian province you are so horny for.
