HeadlineJul 12, 2011

For a fifth day in a row, Egyptian protesters are camping out in Tahrir Square in Cairo demanding the basic demands of the Egyptian revolution be fulfilled, including a wider purge of members of Hosni Mubarak’s regime. Earlier today, 30 men armed with knives and sticks stormed the protesters’ tent camp at the square, wounding six. Meanwhile, Egyptian state TV has reported masked gunmen have blown up a major pipeline that supplies natural gas to Israel and Jordan.
