(Agence France-Presse) A French female television reporter was sexually assaulted during a protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square, she told AFP on Saturday, the latest of such attacks on women covering unrest in Egypt.
Sonia Dridi, a correspondent for France 24, said a mob of mostly young men surrounded her on Friday while she was on the air and then began to grope her. The attack lasted several minutes before a male colleague managed to pull her out.
"I was groped everywhere. I realised (later), when someone closed my shirt, that it was opened, but not torn off," she said.

"I avoided the worst because I have a good belt" and a friend helped her out, said the reporter, who eventually found refuge in a fast food restaurant.
