the world media sees Egypt...

Will they listen this time?
Mubarak waxes poetic about Palestine and Iraq in a major Der
Spiegel interview that was also picked up by the New
York Times:
On Palestine, he says Egypt was
basically trying to tell the Palestinians: "Pull yourselves
together like a man, don't allow internal divisions to weaken your
position because otherwise you won't be able to achieve anything."
On Iran, after the Der Spiegel
interviewers tell him he was right about his pre-war prediction about
Iraq turning into a nightmare, he says: "It would be a catastrophic
mistake for the US to attack Iran. The result would be that the scale of
terror and violence throughout the Middle East and, not much later,
everywhere else in the world would dwarf what we've seen so far. I hope
it doesn't come to that."
Meanwhile, The Egyptian
and Jordanian foreign ministers issued a veiled
warning to regional religious leaders against using next month's
critical elections in Iraq to create a sectarian, Shiite-dominated

Harrods boss goes back
home
Billionaire Mohamed El-Fayed is back
in Egypt after more than 40 years... Tourism, not business, is
why he's touring Sharm El-Sheikh and other places with his
family...
Major magnate
FT does a story quoting businessman Naguib Sawiris as saying that his
Orascom subsidiary, mobile operator Iraqna, was thinking of pulling out
of Iraq -- because it was becoming too
dangerous... Middle East Online's version
of the story is more likely not to require registration, and it also
mentions the fact that two of Iraqna's employees were recently arrested
then released, and that the company is facing stiff competition.
An interesting note related to
this story -- it turns out that the Sawiris
family owns the majority share in Contrack, the major American
construction company that also just pulled out of the Iraqi reconstruction
scheme, citing high security costs...
Chlorine rush
Reuters reports that "panic
broke out in the Egyptian provincial town of Fayoum when more than 300
people inhaled chlorine gas which leaked from a large cylinder in a
scrap yard, the state news agency MENA said on Thursday..."
