Egypt crisis: As Mubarak clings on, Army mulls way ahead

Fri Feb 11 2011, Cairo:



As Egypt was gripped by uncertainty after the refusal of President Hosni Mubarak to step down, the country\'s military Supreme Command Council on Friday told the people to stand by for an \"important statement\" as hundreds of thousands of people started gathering on the streets for what appears to be a massive showdown.



In less than 24 hours, military\'s Supreme Command Council met under the Defence Minister Hussein Tantawi and was to make an important statement to the people.



\"The Supreme Council for the armed forces, presided over by the Defence Minister is holding an important meeting\" the state news agency MENA reported, as it told the people to standby for an important announcement.



This was a second time that the Supreme Command Council was meeting without the embattled Mubarak who is the country\'s armed forces Supreme Commander, and normally presides over such meetings
