Egypt: Protesters Clash With Police in Cairo Protesters Clash With Police in Cairo
(about 1 hour later)
Protesters clashed with the police on Thursday in Cairo near Tahrir Square on the eve of the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak. Three police officers and dozens of protesters were injured in skirmishes after protesters tried to dismantle concrete barriers that had been set up around the Interior Ministry after previous demonstrations. A coalition of opposition groups has called for a major rally in Tahrir Square, the center of the 2011 uprising, to voice opposition to the new Islamist-backed Constitution and President Mohamed Morsi. The Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group allied with Mr. Morsi, has asked its supporters to observe the anniversary by taking part in community service projects far from the square, a plea aimed at preventing renewed fighting between the factions.Protesters clashed with the police on Thursday in Cairo near Tahrir Square on the eve of the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak.
