Egypt Protests Continue Overnight As Mubarak Supporters Attack ; Tahrir Square Gunfire

CAIRO -- Bursts of heavy gunfire are ringing out in Cairo's Tahrir Square, and a protest organizer says three anti-government demonstrators have been killed.

CNN has released video of the attack on Anderson Cooper and his crew in Cairo by supporters of President Hosni Mubarak. The video is extremely shaky, but Cooper and his crew are clearly under siege, and Cooper can be heard saying he's been hit, yelling "calm down" and talking to his camerawoman.

The Army had vowed it would not act against the people seeking an end to 30-years of dictatorship by Mubarak, but witnesses said soldiers stood by and allowed pro-Mubarak forces into Tahir Square, where they attacked the activists.

In MOSCOW Deadly blast in Airport :-

A explosion ripped through the arrivals hall at Moscow's busiest airport on Monday, killing 31 people and wounding about 130, Health Ministry officials said.
Russian news agency Interfax reported on its website that the explosion took place near the luggage check-in section.


The cause of the blast had not yet been determined; however, both Reuters and Agence France-Presse news agencies were reporting it was the result of a suicide bombing.

Security at Moscow's two other major airports, Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo, has been heightened, and city police have been put on alert over further possible terror attacks in the capital, according to Russian broadcaster RT.

Trapped Chile Miners Get More Than 1,000 Rescue

Rescue operations to bring 33 trapped miners to the surface are officially underway in Chile.

The miners have been trapped underground for more than two months. Efforts to surface them will take place on an individual basis using a specially built cage

And you thought your job was a grind. The Chilean miners being resurrected from their rocky tomb are glimpsing the sun again today thanks to an amazing mix of faith and fortitude. Watching them (above) drop to their knees to thank their luck makes you ashamed to complain today. Is it just me or is this video better than anything TV has to offer?

Sepulveda appeared well aware of his budding options. His performance exiting from the shaft appeared to confirm what many Chileans thought when they saw his engaging performances in videos sent up from below - that he could have a future as a TV personality.

But he tried to quash the idea as he spoke to viewers of Chile's state television channel while sitting with his wife and children shortly after his rescue.

"The only thing I'll ask of you is that you don't treat me as an artist or a journalist, but as a miner," he said. "I was born a miner and I'll die a miner."

11-year-old Girl Died After Stopping Her Mom In Traffic

The 11-year-old Brooklyn girl whose death from an asthma attack spurred a probe of the police officer in New York who allegedly stopped her mom from rushing her to a hospital.

Briana, who was about to enter the sixth grade at St. Francis Xavier School, died Friday after a severe asthma attack.

The circumstances of her shocking death have led to the suspension without pay of the five-year veteran, who allegedly refused her frantic mother's pleas to help Briana and even detained them briefly.

Police officials have said that all NYPD officers get CPR training so it is unclear why Mendez would have said he didn't know how to perform the procedure.

As of press time, no word on whether Melendez would be charged criminally for the incident.
