The political unrest gripping Cairo turned ugly Wednesday, as groups of supporters of President Hosni Mubarak charged antigovernment protesters in the city’s main square, sparking bloody clashes.
WSJ’s Margaret Coker reports from Cairo clashes between pro- and anti-government protesters are spreading despite calls from the military for the protesters to disperse.
Conflicts escalated through the day as the two groups faced off, chanting slogans at each other, fighting and hurling missiles. Protesters at two entrances to Tahrir Square—by the Egyptian Museum and the route from downtown Cairo—came under attack from men heaving rocks and running into them with horses and camels.
