sudden bad news

Here’s all I can find:

1312: Reuters reports that the men on horses and camels are Mubarak supporters who charged on opposition protesters, wielding sticks and whips.

1314: The BBC’s Jeremy Bowen in Cairo says: “There’s a lot of violence. People are badly bloodied. They are saying they’ve been taken prisoner. I’ve seen people with some real nasty wounds. It’s an ugly ugly atmosphere. The army are standing by watching.”

1329: More from Mohamed ElBaradei: he tells the BBC he fears the clashes in Tahrir Square “will turn into a bloodbath” and calls the pro-Mubarak demonstrators a “bunch of thugs”.
