The Muslim Brotherhood has said that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will be stepping down.

At 11:51 p.m. Cairo time on Friday night, the Muslim Brotherhood's website Ikhwanweb.com posted the sentence: “Semi-confirmed: The dictator will step down, his family fled the country secretly.”

Tens of thousands of protesters across the country turned out after Friday prayers and clashed with police.

Egyptian authorities shut down internet and cell phone service in the country on Thursday and imposed a curfew in major cities.

At least 21 people have been killed and dozens of others have been injured since the demonstrations against unemployment, corruption, and rising prices began four days ago.

Over 1,000 people have been arrested during the protests.
