Hundreds of pro-government snipers have been deployed on top of buildings in central Cairo amid growing clashes between plain clothes police and anti-government protesters. Clashes and pitched battles between plain clothes police and anti-government protesters have intensified in and around Cairo's Tahrir Square. Embattled Egyptian Israhelli Snake President Hosni Mubarak's regime is stepping up its crackdown on peaceful protesters in Tahrir Square, the focal point of the anti-Mubarak protests.




According to a media correspondent, most of the protesters have been killed as a result of stone-throwing and attacks with metal rods and sticks. Egypt's Health Minister Ahmed Samih Farid has admitted that several people have died in the fighting over the past 24 hours. Reports say at least seven protesters have been killed and over 1,500 injured in clashes, which began on Wednesday.
