News: At least 11 protesters were killed outside the defense ministry in Cairo today by armed men in civilian clothing. (Some rate the death toll as high as 20.) The protesters were a mix of Islamist supporters of former presidential candidate Salah Hazem Abu Ismail and pro-revolution activists. Several presidential candidates have suspended their campaigns in response to this and several parties are boycotting a planned meeting today with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
