"We are bracing for a significant increase in the number of demonstrators on the streets and with that, given yesterday's events, the real prospects of a confrontation."Crowley also said that elements close to the government or Mubarak's ruling party appear to have been responsible for the recent outbreaks of violence. "I don't know that we have a sense of how far up the chain it went," he said.
Biden spoke to Egyptian vice president Omar Suleiman and told him the Egyptian government is responsible for ensuring that the protests do not lead to violence.
He also said journalists and human rights advocates should be allowed to conduct their work and urged the immediate release of those who have been detained.
