Mubarak supporters suspected to be disguised soldiers
[Jerusalem Post Front Page] Egyptian anti-government protesters claimed on Wednesday that those demonstrating in favor of Egyptian geriatric President Hosni Mubarak are security personnel in civilian clothing.
The Egyptian Interior Ministry denied the rumors.
"No, no! Certainly not!"
Al-Jazeera reported that the anti-Mubarak protesters kidnapped a man on the pro-Mubarak side, who turned out to be a military officer.
In addition, CNN reported that pro-Mubarak protesters have arrived in large groups that entered the square without identification checks, whereas anti-Mubarak protesters must go through checkpoints.
CNN added that the pro-Mubarak demonstrators seem to be "looking for a fight," and attempted to cross the divide between them and the other side.
