Hundreds of pro-government snipers have been deployed on top of buildings in central Cairo amid growing clashes between plain clothes police and anti-government protesters.
Clashes and pitched battles between plain clothes police and anti-government protesters have intensified in and around Cairo’s Tahrir Square.
Embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s regime is stepping up its crackdown on peaceful protesters in Tahrir Square, the focal point of the anti-Mubarak protests.
A hypermarket serving the Sheikh Zayed suburb of Cairo was also torched on Thursday, witnesses said.
Protesters attacked with sticks
According to a Press TV correspondent, most of the protesters have been killed as a result of stone-throwing and attacks with metal rods and sticks.
Egypt’s Health Minister Ahmed Samih Farid has admitted that several people have died in the fighting over the past 24 hours.
Reports say at least seven protesters have been killed and over 1,500 injured in clashes, which began on Wednesday.
According to the United Nations, at least 300 people have so far been killed and thousands more injured during nationwide protests in troubled Egypt.
More people march towards Tahrir
Thousands more are marching towards Tahrir Square, where anti-Mubarak protesters are currently camped, our correspondent said.
Main opposition figures have called for another mass rally on Friday, which they consider as President Hosni Mubarak’s day of departure.
A Press TV’s correspondent says pro-Mubarak vigilantes have broken into the journalists’ center in the capital Cairo.
Egypt’s Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq has apologized for the fatal clashes between plain clothes police forces and anti-government demonstrators, pledging that violence will not be repeated in upcoming days.
