Egypt: Mohamed ElBaradei Detained

January 28th, 2011 by Naureen

Reports have surfaced saying that Mohamed ElBaradei has been prevented by authorities from leaving a mosque after prayers this afternoon. He is apparently still being held as street protests continue to build. The International Crisis Group strongly condemned his detention.

Update: ElBaradei has been placed under house arrest, a high-level security source told CNN Friday.
