Everything Back to Normal in Egypt

Really?

AP reports:

Egypt police station attacked after man dies

Egyptian officials say they're investigating the death of a bus driver who was beaten following a fight with a police officer. After the death, angry protesters attacked a police station.

Hundreds of angry protesters pelted a Cairo police station overnight and torched an armored vehicle. Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Oh, and this, too:

Egypt still not supplying gas to Israel

Egypt has not resumed supplying gas to Israel, despite a month ago repairing a pipeline that was attacked by terrorists.

Egypt's oil minister said Thursday that the need to secure the pipeline against future attacks, not politics, were preventing the resumption of supplying gas to Israel.

U.S. investors in the East Mediterranean Gas Co., which owns the pipeline, have taken legal steps against the Egyptian government to make sure that gas flow resumes to Israel.

Egypt supplies Israel with more than 40 percent of its natural gas needs to produce electricity.
