Egyptian troops clashed Monday with a small group of protesters camping out in Cairo's Tahrir Square to press demands for faster change and justice for demonstrators killed in the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
The clashes broke out after troops dismantled the protesters' tents on the square's median, witnesses said. There were no immediate reports of casualties or arrests. Troops backed by armored vehicles and hundreds of riot police used clubs to clear the square after protesters ignored pleas over loudspeakers to leave. Military police fired shots in the air and protesters hurled rocks.
The operation brought an end to nearly a month of renewed daily protests in the central square that was the birthplace of the 18-day uprising that overthrew Mubarak in February.

The Egyptian army has deployed tanks and troops to disperse the remaining pro-democracy protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. According to witnesses, security personnel stormed the area from several directions, smashing tents and stalls before taking some protesters into military detention. The demonstrators had been occupying the square for three weeks in protest of the slow pace of reform.
