My Way News - Army beats protesters as it breaks up Egypt rally
My Way News reports: "Soldiers beat hundreds of protesters with clubs and fired heavy volleys of gunfire into the air in a pre-dawn attack that broke up a demonstration in Cairo's central Tahrir Square, a sign of the increasing tensions between Egypt's ruling military and the country's protest movement."

Comment: It's nice to see that the Army is firmly in control in Egypt, it means that the Islamic Brotherhood will not be handed the state on a silver platter. The military leaders have said they will continue to honor the peace treaty with Israel, so their continued rule is good news for Israel and for the prospects of peace in the Middle East.
