Egyptians flood Tahrir Square as clashes flare anew
Tens of thousands of Egyptians massed in Tahrir Square for a fourth day of protests against military rulers. Clashes spread to streets near the square as security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets, while activists seek a second revolution and civilian rule. At least 29 people have died nationwide amid the unrest, with foreigners arrested and a U.S. citizen deported from the UAE. The cabinet resignation did not quell the demonstrations, which echo the 18 day uprising that toppled Mubarak.

Morocco Islamist party could shape next government
In Rabat the opposition Justice and Development Party eyes a strong showing in legislative elections seen as a test for Morocco's reform process. Analysts note the party's moderation and anti corruption stance may win support while the monarchy aims to preserve stability amid regional Arab Spring echoes. The PJD predicts 100 plus seats in Parliament's 395, though polls are banned and coalitions depend on the king's advisers.

Arabs cite Israel’s undeclared arsenal. The closed two day meeting ended without bridging gaps.
