b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 Cairo (CNN) -- Pre-dawn gunfire and clashes from a violent military
crackdown on protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Saturday left Egyptians
feeling shocked, confused and angered in the hours that followed.
Long bursts of machine gun-fire erupted overnight starting around 3 a.m.,
when scores of soldiers backed by armored personnel carriers launched a raid
on the square.
Amateur video posted on YouTube showed troops storming the square's central
round-about amid rattling gunfire.
Hundreds of protesters -- calling for Egypt's ruling military council to
prosecute former president, Hosni Mubarak -- fled the scene as clouds of
tear gas billowed through central Cairo. Among them were at least four
wounded and bleeding men. Protesters tried to stop an ambulance from leaving
the square.
Two badly beaten men in military uniform were lying in the back of the
vehicle. It is not clear whether or not they were troops engaged in the
crackdown -- or whether they were some of the 15 uniformed army officers and
soldiers who defied direct orders by joining a protest of tens of thousands
of demonstrators in Tahrir Square on Friday.
By morning, security forces withdrew from the square, leaving behind spent
bullet casings and in one place, a pool of blood. | m**l 发帖数: 11854 | 2 没事少看cnn
