Egypt in turmoil

5 more killed as protesters besiege Cairo ministry

Agencies
Protesters laid siege to Egypt’s Interior Ministry yesterday, pushing their protest against the military-led government into a second day in a show of anger triggered by the deaths of 74 people in the country's worst soccer disaster.
Two protesters died of tear gas inhalation, medics said, as new clashes raged in central Cairo between police and protesters amid nationwide protests demanding the ruling military cede power.
The two were rushed to hospital unconscious after joining protests near the interior ministry where riot police fired tear gas and demonstrators hurled back rocks.
Thick tear gas blanketed the road leading to the interior ministry, where a makeshift barricade separated police and protesters, an AFP reporter said.
Earlier, Reuters reported that one person died in Cairo from a shotgun pellet wound and two were killed in the city of Suez as police used live rounds to hold back crowds trying to break into a police station.
The demonstrations erupted following the deaths at a football stadium in Port Said. Most of those killed were crushed to death in a stampede but protesters hold the military-
led authorities responsible.
Several thousand protesters threw rocks towards the ministry building in central Cairo through the night.
By yesterday morning, a hard core of demonstrators had heaved aside a concrete barrier blocking a main road near the ministry to take closer aim at the building. A Reuters witness heard firing and found gun pellets on the ground.
"We will stay until we get our rights. Did you see what happened in Port Said?" said 22-year-old Abu Hanafy.
Close to 400 people have been hurt in the confrontations that erupted late on Thursday, many of them suffering from inhaling tear gas.
The soccer stadium deaths have heaped new criticism on the military council, which has governed Egypt since Mubarak resigned.
At least 1,000 people were injured in the soccer violence when fans invaded the pitch after local team al-Masry beat Cairo-based Al Ahli, the most successful club in Africa.
The cause of the violence has been the focus of intense speculation. Some believe it was triggered by unknown provocateurs working for remnants of the Mubarak administration who are seeking to sabotage the transition to democracy.
