HeadlineApr 05, 2010

Egyptian security officials detained Ahmed Mahanna on Saturday and seized his computer, manuscripts and copies of the book ElBaradei and the Dream of a Green Revolution. Mahanna was released on Sunday. Mohamed ElBaradei has emerged as Egypt’s highest-profile dissident since he retired as head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. He is considering running for president and challenging Hosni Mubarak, who has ruled Egypt since 1981.
