One of my favorite outtakes from shooting in Tahrir square. Here, Ihab, my late cousin and I, join late night protests, conversations and sing alongs. The camaraderie and openness is unmatched. These guys caught wind that I was photographing for a local paper, el Sharouk and wanted to get some photos. This guy took it to the next level. I hope this fills your heart as much as it does mine, then and today. This is more for me than it is for you. . . . . . . . #protests #tahrirsquare #masr #egypt #jan25 #cairo #photography #nikon #d800 #ihab #habby #happy #grace #flag #streetlight #nightlife #outakes #photojournalism (at Cairo, El Tahrir Sq.

Deadly suicide bombing in the Syrian capital of Damascus

A suicide car bomb killed at least eight people in a rare attack in the heart of Syria’s capital on Sunday, as authorities said they foiled a wider assault by intercepting two other explosives-laden vehicles.

The attack unfolded ahead of the morning commute on the first work day after a major Muslim holiday. The Interior Ministry said security forces tracked all three cars and intercepted two of them at checkpoints on the airport road. The third made it into the city center, where the driver blew himself up near Tahrir Square.

The Syrian Minister of Local Administration, Hussein Makhlouf, said the response marked a “major success in foiling a plot” to cause mass casualties.

Syrian state TV reported eight killed and another 12 people wounded in the blast near Damascus’ old city. Lebanon’s al-Manar TV, which is close to the Syrian government, and Diary of a Mortar, a Syrian activist group in the capital, said at least 19 people were killed.

“Six years ago, my mom in her blue dupatta -- -- praying in Tahrir square a few months after Mubarak fell. She and the other two women beside her casually put down newspaper and cardboard onto the asphalt. Praying side by side next to men -- no fanfare, no controversy. There were so many mundane revolutionary moments in those early days. They may not go down in history books or be reflected in political analysis, but they mattered. This is how social change happens over the long haul -- seemingly ordinary (yet extraordinary) barely traceable moments like these.” - Maryum Saifee
