Egypt defense minister visits Cairo's Tahrir Square

None

Egypt's defence minister visited Tahrir Square on Friday, the day anti-government protesters were seeking to rally another mass protest against President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule.

 

This was the first visit to the epicentre of protests that have convulsed Egypt by a senior minister since they erupted on January 25. The president has responded by saying he would not seek another term in office and pledged sweeping political reforms. (Reuters)
