On BBC ARABIC NEWS
While soldiers occupied central squares and guarded key institutions such as the famed Egyptian Museum, a heavy deployment of security police officers remained guarding several closed-off blocks around Mubarak's presidential palace.

This sounds like disinformation to me? However, if this hair-brained plan is carried out, it will exasperate the situation. Plus, as had been mentioned earlier military personnel have been fraternizing with the protesters on the streets of Cairo.
In the video above, we see soldiers in what appear be offering assistance to the protesters as they are being engaged by the riot police. So, Muburak may be losing control of his armed forces. Then I saw another article were it said his security services have withdrew from their positions in the cities and large deployments have been made for positions around the presidential palace.
Amid violent protests, Egypt's leader names potential successor

So, there seems to be rift taking place between the military and the security services/police about whose side they are on. If this latest contingency plan is live, it will be like pouring fuel on the inferno. Moreover, it will embolden the mob and strengthening their cause even further. They really think a few Israel supported or Israel snipers in Egyptian helicopters will diffuse this situation? It won't work!. Muburak has got to step down, but who will govern in the midst of the chaos? That is the question I have. It is getting out of hand.
