Egyptian President Returns To Palace After Massive Protest

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi returned to his Cairo palace on Wednesday as hundreds of protesters still camped outside, the Associated Press reports:

The political crisis has left the country divided into two camps: Morsi, his Muslim Brotherhood and their ultraconservative Islamist allies, versus an opposition made up of youth groups, liberal parties and large sectors of the public. And both sides have dug in their heels, signaling a protracted standoff.
