Calls for Massive Demonstrations across Egypt
(CNN) Mohamed Fadel Fahmy - Hundreds of demonstrators extended their sit-in outside Egypt's defense ministry on Thursday as organizers called for mass protests following violence that killed 22 people. A coalition of political and civil groups - known as the Board of Trustees of the Revolution - demanded the resignation of the government. Alaa Younis, who took part in the sit-in, said "dozens of military men dressed in plainclothes started pelting" them "with stones, cement blocks, and fired tear gas from rifles, so they were obviously security officers under cover."
