IsraelNationalNews:

Egyptian security forces clashed with hundreds of youths for the second day in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Wednesday, Gulf News reports.

Egyptian security forces firing tear gas clashed with more than 5,000 rock and firebomb-throwing protesters in central Cairo when the battle erupted late Tuesday. Dozens were left injured in the latest unrest to rattle the county, witnesses and medical officials said.

Clouds of tear gas and the wail of police sirens engulfed Tahrir Square as lines of security forces in riot gear battled to regain control of the central plaza from the demonstrators, many of them family members of the more than 850 people killed during the revolution earlier this year.

The families say they are frustrated with what they perceive as the slow prosecution of police officers believed to be responsible for the deaths of some 850 protesters during the 18-day uprising that led to the ouster of president Hosni Mubarak earlier this year.

Hopefully the Islamists will overplay their hands and force the military to put them down hard. Right now all the generals want is to keep the peace, and they'll make a deal with the devil to do it. However, if the devil suddenly opens the gates of hell, they will respond and make Black September look like a day on the beach.
