On the morning of Tuesday 8/4 n Cairo there was a military coup attempt
against the agent ruling regime, and the force tried to head towards the
presidential palace to occupy it and force the agent Hussni Mubarak to
resign. But very unfortunately, the Republican Guards, with the aid of the
Military Police and some other units led by other agents, were able to block
this unit (Liwaa).
And many negotiations were then held to convince then to go back to their
bunkers and surrender themselves, but those heroes refused to give in to
these requests and insisted the American agent resigns.
And when the negotiations reached a dead end, the Liwaa was surrounded and
artillery fired on them, and also Apache helicopters were used against them,
and many were killed and injured on both sides. As for the group that was
arrested, they were assassinated on the spot, which was only about 20 km
from the Republic’s presidential headquarters in New Cairo.
As for the Egyptian media, it was mentioned on the news that the shots heard
were military manoeuvres with live ammunition, and this is obviously not
correct because for more than 50 years there has never been manoeuvres with
live ammunition this close to the capital Cairo.
