Egypt 'has power transfer plan'

Opposition calls more protests in campaign to unseat Mubarak

CAIRO - Egypt has a plan and timetable for the peaceful transfer of power, the vice-president said on Tuesday, as protesters called more demonstrations hoping to show their campaign to oust President Hosni Mubarak remains potent.

With signs growing the government may be gaining the upper hand in the struggle for power, Vice-President Omar Suleiman also promised no reprisals against the protesters for their two-week campaign to eject Mubarak after 30 years in office.
