Ganzuri: Deadly Egypt Protests Bid for 'Counter-Revolution'

Egyptian Prime Minister Kamal al-Ganzuri on Saturday accused protesters who engaged in deadly clashes with security forces in Cairo a day earlier of being counter-revolutionaries.

"Those who are in Tahrir Square (epicenter of the revolution that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak in February) are not the youth of the revolution," Ganzuri told a press conference.

"This is not a revolution, but a counter-revolution," added the man who first served as premier under Mubarak from 1996 to 1999.
