Police, protesters clash for 2nd day in Cairo
None
Egyptian security forces and protesters clashed for a second successive day in central Cairo on Wednesday in scenes not seen since the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak in February.
Riot police were deployed around the Interior Ministry and were using tear gas to keep the protesters at bay. The demonstrators were responding with rocks and firebombs. The clashes left streets littered with rocks and debris and sent a cloud of tear gas over the area. So far, Wednesday's violence was on a much smaller scale than the clashes the previous evening, when some 5,000 protesters battled the police for hours overnight. (AP)
