Gunfire, clashes erupt as night falls in Cairo
Thursday night just around dusk there was gunfire in Cairo from gangs that supported President Hosni Mubarak. They where attacking reporters, foreigners, and human rights workers and the army rounded up foreign journalists. There was also gun fire in Tahrir Square where more of the presidents supporters had been fighting for more than 24 hours and so far at least 13 people have been killed since Wednesday. It was also released that Vice President Omar Suleiman promised that Mubarak's son Gamal would not be seeking to follow his father's footsteps in presidential elections in September. During all this the country has had at least $1 billion lost in tourism in the last nine days and has had at least 1 million tourists leave during this time.
