Egyptian leaders vow to restore order after attack on Israeli Embassy
From Mohamed Fadel Fahmy, For CNN
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORL…Cairo (CNN) -- Egypt's military leaders on Saturday promised to re-establish order, a day after an attack on the Israeli Embassy heightened tensions in Egypt and Israel.
Officials reactivated the country's emergency law, according to Mohamed Hegazy, spokesman for the prime minister. The move makes it easier for authorities to arrest people and requires protesters to seek permission to demonstrate, according to a senior official in the National Security Directorate, who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity.
The law was revived to "protect the peace and national security of the country," the official said.The government also vowed to try those responsible for the attack on the Israeli Embassy, which pushed Israel to withdraw its diplomatic personnel from Egypt, Hegazy said.
Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf offered to step down in the wake of the violence, but his resignation was refused, according to a government source not authorized to talk to the media about the matter.

God, what a fiasco this "Arab Spring" shit is going to be in the future or even now. Somehow Old Hosni seems a lot more intelligent and stable than this shit.
