Egypt's PM Apologizes for Violence, Cell Phone Company Forced to Send Pro-Mubarak Text Messages 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Earlier today, Egypt's new prime minister apologized for what he
described as a "fatal error," but the violence by pro-Mubarak forces is
continuing. Egyptian authorities are reportedly forcing the cell phone
company Vodafone to send out pro-Mubarak text messages. Despite the
violence, many anti-Mubarak protesters have refused to leave Tahrir
Square.
