Egyptians are horrified by the news that women have been assaulted by hordes of young men in the centre of the capital, Cairo.[...]
According to the bloggers, the attackers targeted veiled as well as unveiled women who happened to be on their own.
Nice to see the BBC using bloggers as a source and give them a link as well.
The incidents were first reported online by Egyptian bloggers, some of whom saw large number of men harassing the women and ripping off their clothes.
The BBC quotes bloggers extensively in their report.
One blogger who took pictures of what happened dubbed the incidents "sexual voracity down town".
And again...
One blogger wrote that as the police failed to protect the women, shop keepers had to intervene.
More...
The bloggers blamed the incidents on widespread sexual frustration among Egypt's youths.
In fact, if you take bloggers out of the report, there's not much left to report.
Are we going to see more BBC reports relying on bloggers? If so, god help us if the BBC starts relying on "screw them" Kos.
