Egyptian Protesters Continue Occupation of Tahrir Square Amid Attacks 
----------------------------------------------------------------------



For a fifth day in a row, Egyptian protesters are camping out in Tahrir
Square in Cairo demanding the basic demands of the Egyptian revolution
be fulfilled, including a wider purge of members of Hosni Mubarak's
regime. Earlier today, 30 men armed with knives and sticks stormed the
protesters' tent camp at the square, wounding six. Meanwhile, Egyptian
state TV has reported masked gunmen have blown up a major pipeline that
supplies natural gas to Israel and Jordan.
