Egypt threatens to curb, if there is chaos

The cornered regime of Hosni Mubarak said that the military will intervene if the protests cause a state of chaos in Egypt. "If there is chaos, the military will intervene to control the country," said Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit, the channel Al Arabiya television. Yesterday, the protesters surrounded the parliament and the seat of government, while incidents in the South left five dead.

Meanwhile, the U.S. government encouraged the Egyptian Army to "continue to show the same moderation that has made over the last few days." Barack Obama also president stressed the need for a "real and lasting transition" during a telephone conversation with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
