Who’s that man?

As the uprising in Egypt gripped

the world, one question internet

users were asking was “who is

the man standing behind Egypt’s

vice president Omar Soliman?”The

rather grim faced man looked as if

he was holding a gun to the Mr Soliman’s back, and sparked an

internet debate, including his own Facebook page. A raft of spoof

pictures went on to clogg up email traffic, with the man eventually

being identified as Major Sherif Hussein from Egypt’s special forces.
