Today in Egypt, the new prime minister apologized repeatedly for the wednesday's out of hand behavior in Cairo, blaming infiltrators and a "complete disappearance" of police for the human toll. Minister Habib Adli, who oversees Egypt's police forces, was among several former officials of President Hosni Mubarak's government whose assets were frozen. The officials have been banned from traveling outside the country.
The travel ban will remain in effect "until national security is restored and the authorities and monitoring bodies have undergone their investigations," Nile TV said.
Ahmed Shafiq, appointed prime minister last Saturday, pledged a thorough investigation into Wednesday's violence in Tahrir Square, the downtown Cairo plaza where the uprising has unfolded with force.The two sides that had unfolded, faced off all through the night and earlier Thursday, heavy gunfire reverberated in central Cairo. The military worked hard to separate the two sides but in the afternoon, in parts of the square, the soldiers were nowhere to be seen.
