Violence ends brief truce at Egypt protest

Thousands of demonstrators remained camped out in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Wednesday night as dozens of wounded protesters were being treated in makeshift hospitals.

A brief attempt by Egypt's military to interpose a ceasefire between riot police and civilians near the epicentre of protests against military rule earlier disintegrated into another night of violence.
