Staff
Egyptian President Hosid Mubarak's spokesperson Ambassador Soliman Awaad defended the detainment of 3 Egyptian bloggers. One performed acts of violence while the other two established websites attacking Islam and Christianity, a move that Awaad claims could result in sectarian violence.
"This is the only red-line in regard to bloggers: do not fan sectarian strife," said Awaad. "We don't want Egypt to suffer from many cases of sectarian strife, be it tribal or religious." (0:34)
