Egypt Arrests 111 over Israel Embassy Riots
(Ynet News) Roee Nahmias - The Egyptian military police on Sunday arrested 92 additional people suspected of involvement in the riots at the Israeli Embassy in Cairo, bringing the number of detainees up to 111. Senior political sources in Israel said the events "were a test for the Higher Military Council in Egypt. They don't want to confront the rioters, but they cannot ignore the chaos they created." "Reinstating the emergency laws are a sign that they know they must gain control over the chaos. Israel is maintaining the defense establishment's dialogue with Egypt on various levels, on recent events and on other security-related issues, like the situation in Sinai."
