Mideast Egypt

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s supporters scuffle with anti-government protesters near the Tahrir (Liberation) Square, early Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011. Mubarak announced he will not run for a new term in September elections but rejected protesters’ demands he step down immediately and leave the country, vowing to die on Egypt’s soil, after a dramatic day in which a quarter-million Egyptians staged their biggest protest yet calling on him to go.
