Witnesses: Shots heard in central Cairo after curfew

Sounds of gunshots were heard in the streets of central Cairo on Friday evening after the government imposed a curfew following a day of violent protests when police fired rubber bullets and teargas.

Protesters clashed in Kasr el-Aini street near parliament, the prime minister's downtown office and other government buildings, a witness said. There were more than 1,000 demonstrators and thick smoke in that area. (Reuters)
