Protesters throw stones at army soldiers
Cairo - Akram Ali

Protesters throw stones at army soldiers Clashes between angry protesters and security forces continued on Wednesday evening at the Simon Bolivar Square, near the US Embassy in Cairo and Tahrir Square. The demonstrators hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at security forces, who responded by firing teargas canisters and round shots, eyewitnesses told Arabstoday.
Several hundred protesters have been sleeping in tents in Tahrir square since Friday night. Wednesday's clashes came following a massive anti-Morsi rally on Tuesday evening. Many woke up to the sound of the canisters and the smell of gas, protesters told us.
Clashes between protesters and police have left at least two dead and hundreds injured during the past week.
Meanwhile, and in a very serious development, Muslim Brotherhood spokesperson Mahmoud Ghozlan announced on Wednesday that the group plans to hold a mass demonstration in Tahrir Square on Saturday, in support of President Mohammed Morsi's recently issued constitutional declaration. The President has granted himself sweeping powers and immunised his decrees from being challenged in courts, in addition to immunisation of the Islamist-dominated Shura Council (the upper house of the Egyptian parliament) and the Constituent Assembly. Both were expected to be dissolved by court verdicts due to legal and constitutional violations in their formations.
The Salafist Nour Party spokesperson Nader Bakkar said the party has agreed to take part in the demonstration in support of Morsi's constitutional declaration, adding that it would be peaceful, although the anti-Morsi protesters are holding a sit-in at the same place.
The Nour Party Secretary General, Galal Morra said the demonstration aims to maintain the stability of the country and the legitimacy of the elected President.
The controversial announcement ignites worries over possible confrontations in the square which is occupied by anti-Morsi protesters, who have camped out in the square since Friday.
The Brotherhood had previously cancelled its call for a massive pro-Morsi rally last Tuesday because of fears that violence could break out between the President's supporters and opponents, who had also called for mass demonstrations on the same day.
