Egypt to draft constitution amendments in 10 days, referendum in 2 months

Egypt's ruling Higher Military Council hopes to finalize drafting constitutional amendments within ten days and plans to hold a referendum on constitutional amendments within two months, members have told youth activists.

Wael Ghonim said on his Facebook page that he and seven other activists involved in protests that brought down Hosni Mubarak met two members of the council on Sunday evening. Ghonim confirmed to Reuters the accuracy of his report that a special committee would draft the amendments within 10 days. (Reuters)
