Fighter jets buzz Cairo in military show of force (VIDEO)
Fighter jets have made several passes over central Cairo's Tahrir Square, flying lower each time, in a show of force from Egypt's military.
It was an apparent attempt to show that the military has regained control of the city as a curfew approaches, amid protests and incidences of looting.
Meanwhile, Mummies in the Egyptian museum, on the edge of Tahrir Square, where the protests are focused, were damaged by would-be robbers.
Thousands of foreigners remain stranded at Cairo's airport as they attempt to get flights out, according to reports.
Delta, the only airline with direct flights to Cairo from the United States, indefinitely suspended flights, according to the New York Post.
