Egyptian Protesters Attacked; El Baradei Explores Presidential Bid 
-------------------------------------------------------------------



In Egypt, hundreds of pro-democracy protesters have been attacked in
Cairo's Tahrir Square. Small groups armed with rocks and knives were
seen assaulting demonstrators ahead of an Egyptian military effort to
remove the last of the protesters who've remained in Tahrir since the
uprising that toppled U.S.-backed President Hosni Mubarak last month.
The attack comes one day after 13 people were killed and over 140
wounded in sectarian clashes between Muslims and Coptic Christians. In
other news from Egypt, Nobel peace laureate Mohamaed El Baradei has
announced he will run in upcoming presidential elections but only on the
condition of meaningful democratic reforms during the transition. El
Baradei returned to Egypt when the uprising broke out after spending
many years abroad.
