that problems started to happen. there are thugs still out there in the downtown area. anyone who looks remotely foreign is being checked. anyone with a camera is being checked. the army is very helpful, but the problem is when people gather up around reporters or someone coming from the downtown area it's a dangerous situation. >> i heard that your brother had a run-in with thugs today. >> yes. it's not the first time. the day before he was trying to protect some journalists, foreign journalists and that was not even near the tahrir area. then another time and today when they were coming out of the demonstration in tahrir, people stopped them, asked to see their i.d.s, accused them of being foreigners. all were egyptians and looked egyptian as well. but the fact that they were coming from the area made them look suspicious. and it was just a random attack.
