Egyptian tanks clearing Tahrir protesters
- 12 years ago
The Egyptian army has deployed troops in Cairo's Tahrir Square and fired several shots in the air to disperse remaining pro-democracy protesters.
A few hundred demonstrators were staying put, state television reported, showing army vehicles in the square and people taking down tents and canopies.
Witnesses said one man fell due to gunfire near the square, and protesters reportedly were fleeing to the Omar Makram mosque nearby.
