"Lieutenant Colonel Hussein Sharif, who is commander of Group 64 of Egyptian Special Forces, appeared extremely dour and stern during Omar Suleiman's speech; however the Egyptian army officer showed a more relaxed persona during a chance encounter with Egyptian youth in the Cairo suburb of Heliopolis, smiling and joking with them.
