Egypt: Pro-Government Mob Torches Opposition Headquarters
[AP/Washington Post] Maggie Michael - Dozens of pro-government protesters stormed the Cairo headquarters of the opposition al-Ghad party, led by jailed Egyptian dissident Ayman Nour, and set it on fire Thursday, injuring seven people. About 200 protesters first pelted the building with stones and bottles, said a witness. Nour's wife, Gamila Ismail, who was inside the headquarters during the rioting, accused the police of siding with the rioters.
