Over 2,500 People Killed in Iraq in 3 Months!:
More than 2,500 people were killed in Iraq in the past three months, U.N. figures showed on Monday, a surge of violence that has fanned fears the politically-deadlocked country is slipping back into all-out bloodshed.

Millions Protest in Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood HQ in Cairo is Stormed, Firebombed:
A sea of bobbing heads hoisting Egyptian flags high spilled out of Tahrir Square as drivers pulled their cars over on the October 6 Bridge to watch the scene below. A long procession of others walked down Ramses Street in the direction of the presidential palace.
