apparent plot to attack the U.S. Embassy in Cairo

HERE.

A disturbing amplification of the stabbing that took place there the other day. U.S. citizens in Cairo, such as me, routinely need to visit the Embassy for personal business.

In the long run, it would probably be better to relocate the U.S. Embassy to the fringes of the city. At present it is right in the heart of downtown Cairo, and the closure of all the streets near the fortress-like Embassy causes even more traffic congestion downtown than would normally be the case anyway.
