A6 was the group that spearheaded the revolutionand remains its most radical faction.
CAIRO: Hassan al-Rewini, a member of the Supreme Council for Armed Forces (SCAF), announced Tuesday that members of the pro-democracy group 6 of April are still under investigation over allegedly receiving foreign funds.
Rewini gave the press statements after visiting a polling station in Heliopolise on Monday, checking the status of the Egyptian run-off elections.
General Rewini accused the political group of receiving funds and armed training aboard without providing any evidence, bringing him under fire from activists and human rights groups.
This is an old reactionary trick--accuse the revolutionaries of being in cahoots with hostile foreign interests. There has hardly been a rebellion without such a charge being made.

Meanwhile the counterrevolutionary junta has been in league with hostile foreign powers.
UPDATE: Egypt imports 21 tons of tear gas from the US, port staff refuses to sign for it
CAIRO: The arrival of 7 and half tons of tear gas to Egypt’s Suez port created conflict after the responsible officials at the port refused to sign and accept it for fear it would be used to crackdown on Egyptian protesters.
And how right they are. This bodes well for Egypt. The moment critique of any revolution comes when those tasked with quelling it refuse and defect to the rebel cause. When this happens revolutions succeed, at least for a time. When the security apparatus follow orders, the revolution is doomed.
