Clashes in Cairo Extend Arab World's Days of Unrest

After days of protests in the Arab world that have toppled
one president and shaken many others, thousands of
demonstrators calling for the ouster of President Hosni
Mubarak poured from mosques in Cairo after noon prayers on
Friday, clashing with police who fired tear-gas,
rubber-bullets and water-cannons, according to news reports
and images broadcast on television.

Witnesses said a crowd of at 10,000 people was moving east
from Cairo's Mohandeseen neighborhood, trying to reach the
central Tahrir Square that has been an epicenter of protest.

reaching the square. Some demonstrators stamped on
photographs of the president and others chanted "Down, down
with Mubarak."
