The military announced on national television that it was going to "safeguard the country" and assured protesters that the president would meet their demands. That was the strongest indication yet that Mubarak has lost his power.
Egyptian army's chief of staff Sami Eman told US broadcaster ABC News that "it ends tonight" when asked whether Mubarak would step down. He had earlier on Thursday told cheering demonstrators at the Tahrir Square in Cairo that, "All your demands will be met tonight."
State television interrupted all programming to present footage of a panel of senior military officers, one of whom read out a statement of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. The statement was labelled "communiqu? number 1", suggesting a military coup.
"In support of the legitimate demands of the people," the army "will continue meeting ... to examine measures to be taken to protect the nation and its gains and the ambitions of the great Egyptian people," the statement said.
The TV footage showed Egyptian Defence Minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi chairing a meeting of top stern-faced army officers seated around a table. Mubarak, the armed forces' commander in chief, was absent from the meeting.
Vice President Omar Suleiman and Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit had earlier warned of the possibility of a coup or imposition of martial law if the protesters did not agree to a government-directed framework of negotiations for reforms.
The head of Mubarak's ruling party Hossam Badrawi had earlier told BBC the embattled president would "respond to the people's demands by tomorrow [Friday]."
