GCIS/MSS INTELLIGENCE UPDATE: CAIRO (AP) — Hundreds of people crowded the capital's main international airport hoping for a flight out on Saturday but Western carriers were canceling, 
delaying or suspending service after days of violent unrest.
A British airline turned around its Cairo-bound jet in mid-flight.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 people flocked to Cairo Intentional Airport, many without reservations. Officials said that about half were tourists and half Egyptians.
British Midlands International said its flight from London Heathrow to Cairo turned around because a shift in the start of a nighttime curfew from 6 p.m. to 4 p.m. had made it impossible to land in time for passengers to make it out of the airport.
The United States, France and Germany issued warnings to their respective citizens, urging them to cancel nonessential travel to Cairo and to remain indoors and away from flashpoint areas if they were already in the country. (read full report)
