Description
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION
Unidentified youths hurled petrol bombs in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Tuesday (November 29) as Egypt concluded the initial phase of largely peaceful voting in the first election since the downfall of Hosni Mubarak.
Gunfire was heard in Abdel Monem Riyad, near Tahrir Square, as large groups of youths threw stones.
A spokesman for one of the groups that has organized a sit-in protest against the ruling military council said youths without any identification had tried to come into the square, which had been the heart of protests that toppled Mubarak.
It was unclear who threw the petrol bombs and what motivated them, but state television said the clash had involved street vendors. Earlier, there were scuffles involving street vendors in the square.
The protesters have been staging a sit-in in Tahrir Square for 11 days to demand an immediate end to military rule. The protests triggered Egypt's most volatile week since Mubarak was forced out, with 42 people being killed.
