Egyptian army vow not to use force

Egypt's army has vowed it will not use force against the tens of thousands of people protesting for the removal of the regime of President Hosni Mubarak.



In a statement, the army said it respects the legitimate rights of the people.



The statement comes ahead of a massive march planned for Cairo today and amid a call for a general strike.



Meanwhile, new Vice President Omar Suleiman said Mubarak had asked him to open dialogue with all political parties on constitutional reform.
