Mohamed ElBaradei, an Egyptian presidential candidate and Nobel laureate, was attacked by thugs at a polling station in Cairo on Saturday, his brother told CNN.
ElBaradei described the attack, which occurred during a referendum on changes to the constitution, on his Twitter account. Voting was completed Saturday evening, when all polling districts were reported closed, according to the judicial committee overseeing the elections.
"Went 2 vote w family attacked by organized thugs," he tweeted. "Car smashed w rocks. Holding referendum in absence of law & order is an irresponsible act."
The former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency also tweeted that two members of his campaign team were detained at a separate polling station in Cairo.
ElBaradei said the two women were serving as official monitors at the polling station when they were detained.
His brother confirmed the attack. Egyptians streamed to the polls Saturday to vote on proposed constitutional amendments, the first democratic initiative after the fall of autocratic president Hosni Mubarak's regime.

Majority of Egyptians don't like baradei. Don't believe it was organized thugs.
Not True more than 1000000M Egyptians signed to him.. only old system hate him due he was the main reason for the change.. and sure many was gain alot from corruption hate him till die.
most Egyptian believe he is the saver .. good bless you Dr Elbaradie.
and who say he is not tell other single person has 1000000 million signature from Egyptians.
The attackers are the muslim extremists jihadists. El Baradei is viewed as a traitor, since he is not viewed as an observant muslim, educated in the US. Ultimately Muslim Brothers will be coming to power in Egypt unfortunately (((
The Real Bad News: All muslim, so called revolutions, will bring islamists to power sooner or later...
what ever happen to the mild-mannered jihadists?
That's exactly what the right-wing thugs in Washington want us all to think,Sense. That's the way they operate.
Israel is becoming a nation. http://nopolicestate.blogspot.com/2011/01/egypt_29.html
Afghanistan is becoming a Muslim democracy. http://www.freeafgh.blogspot.comp94
You mean that Afghanistan is becoming a pro-Western pseudo-democracy,don't you? The C.I.A. will decide who wins and who loses these elections,not the Afghan people!!!
Maybe this Mohamed el Baradei is not quite so willing to take orders from Washington as the right-wing thugs there thought he was. It's reasonably likely that this attack was C.I.A. orchestrated. Never put anything past these lowlifes!!!
