That is the latest report coming from YahooNews this morning.
They say that military commander Gen. Hassan al-Roueini told the protesters at Tahrir Square that, "All your demands will be met today."
The military’s top brass has been meeting on Thursday and has told state TV that it supports the legitimate demands of the Egyptian people.
The statement was labelled "communique number 1," a phrasing that suggests a military coup.
The head of the ruling party, Hossam Badrawi, told The Associated Press that he expects that Mubarak will "address the people tonight to respond to protesters demands." YahooNews

Operation #HBGary was retribution against (in)security firm HBGary, and its associate company HBGary Federal, for threatening to release innacurate and fallacious information about Anonymous. During the operation, Anonymous double-penetrated HBGary's corporate network, compromised the personal email and social networking accounts of several HBGary employees (evidence of which is still online at the time of this document's creation), retrieved some 50,000 corporate emails, discovered HBGary "product" source code, and wiped Aaron Barr's personal iPad (for shits 'n' giggles).
Among the emails retrieved from HBGary, Anonymous uncovered communications between Bank of America's legal representation, HBGary, Palantir, and BericoTechnologies detailing efforts to weaken Wikileaks through misinformation and targeted cyber attacks.
In the proposal to be presented to Bank of America, representatives from the three security companies outlined strategic operations against Wikileaks and its supporters, including psy-ops and cyber attacks against the Wikileaks infrastructure and its supporters.
BoA's interest in supressing/disrupting Wikileaks is evidence that they fear becoming the next focal point of Wikileaks, and that they, and their associates, will stop at nothing to protect their own selfish interests at the expense of innocent people around the globe. Anonymous will not sit idle while corporate greed and government power-mongering wreak havok on civil liberties.
The unedited emails are included at the end of this release and the proposal can be viewed on-line at: http://goo.gl/...
Anonymous has a message for corporations and governments around the world:
Fuck with the truth at your own peril.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
P.S.: The kind of "research" being conducted by HBGary and co. is a flagrant violation of Facebook's Terms of Service. See Article 5.7 for further clarification:
* "Article 5. Protecting People's Rights. Subarticle 7. If you collect information from users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear you (and not Facebook) are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy explaining what information you collect and how you will use it."
