BBC News - Egypt violence exposes secret tools of state repression

BBC News - Egypt violence exposes secret tools of state repression: "International journalists covering events in Egypt this week have had a small but painful taste of 'the dark side' - the secret security apparatus used by governments across the region, day in day out, to keep unpopular rulers in power.

The BBC, CNN and several Arab media organisations have all been experiencing harassment, crude and at times violent, by plain clothes 'thugs' supporting President Hosni Mubarak."
