Egypt dissolves notorious internal security agency
Same as in Tunisia, then. Going to be very interesting to see how this revolution thingy turns out in the longer run.Egypt's military authorities have dissolved the country's notorious internal security agency, which has been accused of human rights abuses.
The State Security Investigation Service (SSIS) will be replaced with a new "National Security Force".
The new agency would be tasked with "protecting the internal front and combating terror", state TV reported.
The actions of the SSIS helped ignite the popular uprising that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak last month.
