Sources at a marble factory have reported to Al-Masry Al-Youm that the factory's owner has been conspiring with a former Member of Parliament to supply rubble to thugs with the intention of starting riots in Tahrir Square and elsewhere in Cairo.
According to sources at the factory in the Sheq al-Thuaban area, a former MP from the now-dissolved National Democratic Party worked with the factory owner to supply the marble used in the fighting at the Balloon Theater and Tahrir Square on 28 June.
The two men are said to have been stockpiling rubble once more ahead of the protests planned for Friday, 8 July, with the intention of supplying it to thugs so that they can spark a riot between protesters and police.
Al-Masry Al-Youm has received a large number of phone calls making similar claims.
Meanwhile, Al-Masry Al-Youm called Assistant Interior Minister Ahmad Gamal al-Din to inform him of the claims. Investigations into the claims have so far revealed that the factory owner is known to have been involved in acts of thuggery and the rigging of elections in exchange for money.
The investigations have also revealed that the two men were last seen on Thursday getting into a pickup truck after allegedly agreeing to transfer large quantities of broken marble.
Security authorities have increased their presence in the Sheq al-Thuaban area to prevent any vehicles carrying marble from leaving the area.
