Egyptian security forces have attempted to prevent dozens of US activists from reaching their embassy in Cairo. Hoping to ask the American ambassador for help in reaching the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, some 41 American citizens instead found themselves surrounded by riot police. All those rounded up were members of the Gaza Freedom Marchers organization, a group planning to travel to Gaza to protest an Egyptian and Israeli blockade of the besieged territory.
