Ranks of Protesters Swell in Cairo
(Washington Post) Leila Fadel - Egyptian demonstrators made clear Tuesday that their quest to oust President Hosni Mubarak is far from over, flooding into a downtown Cairo square in what appeared to be the largest turnout since the popular revolt began two weeks ago. The protesters drew energy from Wael Ghonim, 30, an Egyptian Google executive who helped organize the first street protests in Cairo on Jan. 25, who was detained for 12 days by Egyptian security officials and then released and interviewed on Egyptian TV.
