Pilgrims sit-in over H1N1 ban
Hundreds of Egyptians staged a sit-in yesterday at Cairo airport after they were barred from traveling to Mecca for a pilgrimage due to restrictions to prevent the spread of H1N1 flu. Airport authorities said they called in extra security to disperse the 300 protesters.
