Nearly 40,000 protestors have broken through police lines and held up traffic in downtown Cairo, Friday, hours before the shock and awe phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom was initiated.

On Friday, Egyptians cried in unison their support for Iraq and their resentment of Arab leaders as they set fire to trucks near the Egyptian TV and Broadcast building overlooking the Nile in downtown Cairo.

Al Jazeera news network is reporting that the U.S. government has warned in the sternest of language that the Egyptain authorities must forbid at all costs any harm to U.S. interests or personnel in the area.

Meanwhile, Yemen's capital Sana'a looked like a battleground as four Yemenis were killed in violent clashes with police trying to push protestors back from storming the U.S. embassy.

Al Jazeera also showed footage of a massive explosion in the U.S. embassy compound in Manama, Bahrain, home to a large contingent of U.S. forces.

Bahraini youth battled riot police as they tried to storm the U.S. embassy.

No word yet on casualties.

Saturday morning is sure to be tense in the Egyptian capital and throughout the Arab world after a night of incredible footage of Iraqi devastation and unprecedented bombing in military history reaches Arab audiences.
