Army push Mubarak loyalists away from protesters

The Egyptian army pushed supporters of President Hosni Mubarak away from anti-government protesters on Thursday, continuing its drive to separate the opposing camps that have clashed in central Cairo.

A Reuters witness saw an army tank turn its turret towards Mubarak loyalists who were hurling rocks at the protesters from an elevated position on a flyover. The tank then advanced towards the loyalists, accompanied by soldiers on the ground who cleared them from the flyover. (Reuters)
