http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/8736055/mubarak-orders-army-to-back-police-against-unrest/CAIRO (Reuters) - President Hosni Mubarak imposed a curfew and ordered troops to back up police as they struggled to control crowds who flooded the streets of Cairo and other Egyptian cities on Friday to demand that he step down. In unrest never before seen during Mubarak's 30 year-rule, police and demonstrators fought running street battles. Dozens of people were wounded as security forces fired rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannon at the crowds and baton charged them. The protesters hurled back stones and shouted "Down, Down, Hosni Mubarak." Al Jazeera television said at least one person was killed in a square in central Cairo, although the report could not be confirmed. excerpted

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/01/28/violent-clashes-police-break-cairo/DEVELOPING: Loud explosions and gunfire were heard in the Egyptian capital of Cairo Friday, as protesters demanding the removal of President Hosni Mubarak defied a curfew, Al Jazeera reported. Read earlier report below: Egypt's military deployed on the streets of Cairo to enforce the nighttime curfew as the sun set Friday on a day of rioting and chaos that amounted to the biggest challenge ever to authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year regime. Flames rose up across a number of cities from burning tires and police cars. Even the ruling party headquarters in Cairo was ablaze in the outpouring of rage, bitterness and utter frustration with a regime seen as corrupt, heavy-handed and neglectful of grinding poverty that afflicts nearly half of the 80 million Egyptians. "I can't believe our own police, our own government would keep beating up on us like this," said Cairo protester Ahmad Salah, 26. "I've been here for hours and gassed and keep going forward, and they keep gassing us, and I will keep going forward. This is a cowardly government and it has to fall. We're going to make sure of it." excerpt...

The dominoes are falling. Shariah is coming to the entire middle east.
Israel stands alone.

If Israel uses them to survive the whole world will be against it.

Reports or rumors?
Mubarak government has fallen.
Iran is probably behind the unrest in Muslim countries....

NoPE
Mubarak is asking a large number of government officials to resign so he can appoint new ones.
He doesn't want to leave just yet.
This is not going to appease the protesters.
