Amid ongoing demonstrations against his government, Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak has said that he would like to step aside, but feared the country would be engulfed in chaos. In an interview with ABC television's on Thursday Mr. Mubarak said that he cares about his country, and unhappy about violence but that his government is not responsible for it. The interviewer also informed media that President Mubarak warned that the Muslim Brotherhood party would fill any power vacuum if he steps down. In a related report, New York times says that Obama administration is discussing with Egyptian officials a proposal for President Hosni Mubarak to resign immediately, turning over power to a transitional government headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman, with the support of the Egyptian military. The United States has urged the Mubarak government to take immediate steps towards a political transition. A White House statement said that Vice President Biden urged that credible, inclusive negotiations begin immediately in order for Egypt to transition to a democratic government that addresses the aspirations of the Egyptian people. Egypt's Health Ministry has said that 12 people were killed and more than 1200 injured in the fighting so far. Country’s Vice President Omar Suleiman has urged protesters to leave Tahrir Square saying their demands had been met. In his address on State television last evening, he slammed their demands for Mubarak's ouster as a call for chaos adding that violence against protesters in the square could have been the result of a conspiracy. Suleiman also invited Muslim Brotherhood to join talks between the government and opposition aimed at ending the protests. Egypt's Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq apologised for the fighting between pro- and anti-government demonstrators and pledged to investigate the violence. Meanwhile fighting between protesters and government loyalists continued for second night, with an unidentified foreigner beaten to death in the square and a hypermarket was torched in a Cairo suburb. Reports say that journalists were manhandled. US state department spokesman Robert Gibbs said the systematic targeting of journalists was unacceptable. After clashes, anti Mubarak protesters are still at Tahrir square demanding resignation of President Mubarak. Military has created a barrier between Pro and anti Mubarak protestors to avoid further clashes. Demonstrations in several other cities have also been reported against government.
