.- The Egyptian police in the coming hours will receive further orders that involve a rethinking of its mission, to take over from tomorrow to defend public safety, officials said. The sources added, however, Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the protests of recent days, will remain under custody of the military, which on Friday was ordered to support the Police to maintain security in the country.
Egypt police withdrew from the streets on Friday night. Surveillance functions were taken over by the army, which occupied strategic places, and groups of citizens armed with sticks and other objects, which monitor the streets at night. Since then, Egypt's major cities have witnessed many actions of looting that have tried to tarnish the political demonstrations taking place since last Tuesday to demand the resignation of Mubarak, in power since 1981.
Along with that, thousands of prisoners have escaped from prison and in many cases have formed gangs to commit acts of looting, according to official reports released on public television. Government sources who preferred anonymity, told Efe that the next few hours is expected to assume the new interior minister, whose identity was not provided, and from this step will give new orders to the police.
These orders involve "rethinking the mission of the police to be deployed again" throughout the country from tomorrow, the sources added. Orders, they said, will involve avoiding clashes with protesters in recent days killed more than a hundred people, including several players, especially in the evening on Friday, the bloodiest.
That means that Tahrir Square, the epicenter of public protests, and is now guarded by army troops, will remain under military control. For his part, sources of security services confirmed to Efe and information between missions indicated that the police will be to prosecute those responsible for actions of looting.
Agents, the sources said, will return to police stations, but "under the direction of the Army." In fact, the latter sources said the police have begun to be deployed in some neighborhoods of Baghdad, as Dokki and Mohandisin, which have confirmed images of television, but from tomorrow the deployment of the agents will be global.
