Mubarak's VP says he won't 'reinvent' old regime
Hosni Mubarak's former vice president and spy chief said in comments published Monday that he would not attempt to "reinvent" the regime of his longtime mentor if he is elected president of Egypt.
He told state-owned Al-Akhbar daily that restoring security would be his top priority as president. Next on his list would be to revive the country's faltering economy, social justice and reinforcing freedom and democracy. He also sought to distance himself from the old regime and said the uprising that forced Mubarak to step down nearly 14 months ago has created a "new reality" that cannot be reversed. (AP)
