The tweets regarding the attack at Karroubi's home are several hours old, I currently have no information on what's happening right now over there. But maybe keep checking the live blog, and hope Karroubi, his family and everyone participating in the protests will be safe. I wish all of you the best of luck, and I truly wish there was more I could do to help, or at least show my support. Be careful, and be safe.
