Al Jazeera update 30 minutes later (now): gas pipeline to Jordan attacked in northern sinai . Pipeline to Israel not affected.

Update; Egypt State TV states it was a *gas leak*, not terrorists. Stories from different countries involved contradict each other right now.

1. Has anyone heard if Suleiman was hit in the assassination attempt?

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. No, he was not AND now there is denial of the attempt.

The German diplomat who said there was an assassination attempt against Egypt's new vice president has retracted his comments.
and
The attempt was hinted at on BBC Arabic a day after it supposedly happened. This what their correspondent said earlier today.

these 2 above tweets from today.

12. CNN news banner says he's trying to retract the part about "evading" assassination

...meaning he was assassinated?:shrug:

[Catherina]

17. He's claiming it was an unsubstantiated source now.

Possibly hushing it up until they can find the coup leader?

[Dennis Donovan]

20. Okay - the banner was confusing...

Thanks!:hi:

36. I think they're confused coming up with a straight story!

41. adding this:

Was there actually an assassination on Suleiman, and, if so, why is it only a story on Fox and the Indian press?

All legit news said it was bogus. just like the news pipeline blown up in Israel by "terrorist". reservists sent to Israel from VA
