In Egypt, hundreds of pro-democracy protesters have been attacked in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. Small groups armed with rocks and knives were seen assaulting demonstrators ahead of an Egyptian military effort to remove the last of the protesters who have remained in Tahrir since the uprising that toppled U.S.-backed President Hosni Mubarak last month. The attack comes one day after 13 people were killed and more than 140 wounded in sectarian clashes between Muslims and Coptic Christians. In other news from Egypt, Nobel Peace Laureate Mohamed ElBaradei has announced he will run in upcoming presidential elections, but only on the condition of meaningful democratic reforms during the transition. ElBaradei returned to Egypt when the uprising broke out, after spending many years abroad.
