Clinton tours Tahrir Square in push for reform

None

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is touring Cairo's Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the popular uprising that toppled Egypt's longtime autocratic leader last month.

 

Clinton made an unscheduled stop to the site Wednesday during a two-day visit to Egypt aimed at encouraging the Egyptian people and their transitional leaders to hold true to the ideals of democratic reforms that propelled the revolution. Clinton is the highest-ranking US official to visit Egypt since President Hosni Mubarak was ousted last month and she has pledged America's support for the transition. (AP)
