reports of acid

There are reports of acid having been used the other day, thrown from rooftops onto Tahrir Square.

I received a document prior to last Friday, warning that groups of thugs were being organized to use acid. I didn’t post that particular point then because obviously I couldn’t verify it and didn’t want to slander anyone by implication. But much has happened in the past week to have shifted one’s sense of what it is possible for some people to do.
