Proxy war between Mubarak and Egyptian intelligence chief
[Ennahar] Israeli television reported more than two months ago, precisely on 22 October 2010, that Egyptian geriatric President Hosni Mubarak thought designate Omar Suleiman, head of Egyptian intelligence, as vice president.Three months ago, the Egyptians were surprised to see all the streets overrun with posters claim Omar Suleiman president. The authorities have immediately reacted and the police undertook an arrest campaign in the ranks of young activists of the National Party who would have been handled, especially since the number of posters was impressive. In parallel, electronic sites launched slogans such as "neither Neither Djamel nor the Mohammedan brothers, we want Omar Suleiman." This campaign to support Omar Suleiman was in fact to bar the road to the succession of Djamel Mubarak. On the morning of September 1, 2009, Egyptian intelligence chief and foreign minister, Ahmed Aboulgheit were on board an Egyptian plane to Eritrea to conduct negotiations with Eritrean officials about the conflict over the Nile waters. A few minutes after the plane takeoff, the captain announces the discovery of a failure requiring an emergency landing. Arriving at an airport in southern Egypt, the aircraft was inspected by aviation experts under the eyes of Omar Suleiman's men. It turned out that the damage was caused in order to blow up the aircraft in flight. They realized that this technical failure was sabotage and an investigation was then launched with Smart Company officials, of the Department of Civil Aviation. The Egyptian authorities have stifled the case and the front man of Foreign Affairs told the press that this was simply a technical failure. The Egyptian opposition, backed by Egyptian intelligence, points to what they called the lobby Mubarak, accusing him of being behind the attempted liquidation and liquidation of Omar Suleiman. The amazing thing is that it had all the details about the incident despite the blackout of the authorities on the matter.
