ElBaradei welcomed the arrest of Mubarak

Berlin. .- The Egyptian opposition leader Mohammed ElBaradei welcomed the arrest of former President Hosni Mubarak warned against the growing mistrust between the army and population. Mubarak's arrest "our revolution takes another step forward," ElBaradei said in an interview published today by the German weekly Der Spiegel.

" The Nobel Peace Prize, however, that Mubarak felt should have been arrested in order to shoot demonstrators who ended up causing the fall of the regime. The fact that the arrest was delayed further, he warned, Mubarak gave "the opportunity to hide anything that was incriminating." In the interview, the former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was also concerned by the fact that the Army has used force against a new wave of protests in Tahrir Square in Cairo.

"It's not something that just strengthened the confidence of the people in general. So the relationship between the two sides is so tense," he lamented. El Baradei, 68, advised the protesters confront the army. "It would be the worst thing that could happen. In that case would fall back into chaos," he said.

Become one of the central figures of the historic protests that brought down the Mubarak regime, ElBaradei put his trust in the presidential elections scheduled for the end of the year, which could be a candidate. "I hope that until the presidential elections have created a democratic framework which always depended on my candidacy," he said.
