One Journalist Killed, Another Raped While Covering Egypt

The Committee to Protect Journalists is reporting that one journalist is dead, another has been raped, and at least seven others have been attacked while covering the protests in Egypt.

On Saturday, Salah al-Din Hassan, a 37-year-old reporter with the news website Shaab Masr (Egyptian People), was killed by a homemade bomb. That same day a group of journalists was hit with molotov cocktails, beaten, and had all of their equipment destroyed.
