During one firebomb attack, rioters hit a police officer directly, engulfing him in flames:

Sadat’s ‘Cold Peace’ Legacy Is at Increasing Risk � Commentary Magazine

Sadat’s ‘Cold Peace’ Legacy Is at Increasing Risk � Commentary Magazine: "All the secular forces in Cairo are asking for a review of or a break from the relations with both Israel and the United States. The protagonist of the revolts, Mohamed ElBaradei, has said that Israel is the biggest threat in the Middle East. “Israel has signed a peace treaty with Mubarak, not with Egypt,” said the Nobel Peace Prize winner. Leftist Karama Party leader Hamdeen Sabahi proclaims the end of the “American-Israeli domination over Egypt.” And the generals in power have just asked a former judge of the State Council, the so-called “moderate islamist” Tariq al-Bishri, to chair the committee that will reform the Egyptian constitution. Praising the founder of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Mr. Bishri said that, against Israel, “all forms of resistance must be deployed, including violent resistance.”"

The obvious answer is that it would have to in some way pander to the animus against Israel and Jews that has become such an important part of Egyptian culture in the past 30 years. It is in this context that we must interpret the news that Ayman Nour, head of the avowedly liberal and secular Egyptian opposition party, has said that the 1978 Camp David Accords that paved the way for peace between Israel and Egypt are irrelevant and must be redrawn."

Key military, intelligence assets imperiled in Egypt - Washington Times

Key military, intelligence assets imperiled in Egypt - Washington Times: "U.S. military and intelligence agencies would lose vital air, land and sea assets if Egypt falls into the hands of radical Islamists, as Iran did in 1979, foreign policy analysts say.

The U.S. armed forces are entwined with Egypt's military more than with any other Arab country’s. But if Islamists seize Cairo, as the mullahs captured Tehran, this complex relationship unravels.

“Let me count the ways,” said Ken Allard, a retired Army colonel and military analyst. “They are our biggest strategic partner in the Middle East. At that point, you’ve lost your biggest Arab partner. Geostrategically, the mind boggles.”"
