CAIRO - General Omar Suleiman, a number of the powerful Egyptian intelligence since the early nineties, is the man who could take the reins of power in Egypt. In the midst of crisis and protests against Hosni Mubarak, the news of his appointment to the vice-presidency means that, if necessary, he will replace Saddam.
If Suez protesters defying a curfew celebrated in the square shortly after the protest broke out in Cairo against the Egyptian head of external services. Unlike previous leaders of the intelligence services, Suleiman is known on the international political scene for his commitment, since 2000, after the outbreak of the Second Intifada, in the difficult mediation between Palestinian factions and between Palestinian groups and Israel.
With its commitment has won the respect of European diplomats, the Israelis and Americans.

in the lead. Born in 1935 in Qena in southern Egypt, arrived in Cairo at age 19 to attend the Military Academy. Then receive advanced training in the Soviet Union. He participated in the Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1967 and 1973. Its weight within the regime in recent months has led him to be the candidate preferred by the military to the succession to Mubarak, the son of an alternative leader Gamal.
In one of the dispatches and published by Wikileaks from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, dated 2007, the then U.S. Ambassador Francis J. Ricciardone thinking about the post-Mubarak prophesied that Suleiman could be appointed Vice-Chair: "An alleged friend of his told us that he hates the idea of a presidency, Gamal, and that is also personally angered by Mubarak, who has promised to appoint him years ago Vice-President.
