Egypt PM apologizes for attack on protesters (ASSOCIATED PRESS, 02/03/2011)

Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik has told state TV, "I offer my apology for everything that happened yesterday because it's neither logical nor rational."

The public apology from a top government official was highly unusual. Shafik called the attack a "blatant mistake" and promised to investigate "so everyone knows who was behind it."

On Wednesday, pro-Mubarak demonstrators told The Jerusalem Post that they were not sent by the government.
