CNN's Anderson Cooper and his camera crew were attacked and repeatedly punched by pro-government forces near Tahrir Square in Cairo today.
'My team were set upon by the crowd,' Cooper said on CNN this morning via telephone from the safety of a hotel balcony. 'There was no rhyme or reason to it—it was just people looking for a fight, looking to make a point, and punching us.' According to a Twitter post from George Hale, the English editor of the Ma'an news agency, who cited a CNN 'manager,' Cooper was punched '10 times in the head.'
