2. CAIRO – February 2, 2011 - Mubarak Supporters Attack Protesters.. : One Dead, At Least 600 Injured.. WHITE HOUSE 'DEPLORES AND CONDEMNS' ATTACKS.. UN Chief 'Strongly Condemns' Violence.. Protesters: Violent Security Officers Disguised In Plain Clothes.. Egypt's VP Refuses Dialogue Til Protests End.. At least one person has been killed and another 600 injured in continuing clashes between pro- and anti-government demonstrators in the Egyptian capital Cairo.Protesters from both sides fought pitched battles on Wednesday in Tahrir [Liberation] Square, the epicentre of ongoing opposition demonstrations against President Hosni Mubarak for the past nine days Gunshots were also regularly ringing out of the square.Earlier, witnesses said the military allowed thousands of pro-Mubarak supporters, armed with sticks and knives, to enter the square. Opposition groups said Mubarak had sent in thugs to suppress anti-government protests. Some journalists said the army seemed to be standing by and facilitating the clashes. Though initially put on the backfoot by the sudden attack, determined anti-government protesters looked to be winning the battle against Mubarak supporters. security guards have also been seen amongst the pro-Mubarak supporters, and it may be a precursor to the feared riot police arriving on the scene. Mohamed ElBaradei, a prominent opposition figure, accused Mubarak of resorting to scare tactics. Opposition groups have reportedly also seized police identification cards amongst the pro-Mubarak demonstrators. A witness said organisers were paying people $17, to take part in the pro-Mubarak rally, a claim that could not be confirmed. Despite the clashes, anti-government protesters seeking Mubarak's immediate resignation said they would not give up until Mubarak steps down. Now watch with attention the faces of the « PRO MUBARAK » : you will for sure make your own opinion about who they really are, - some young women look like « call-girls » !!! – others like ex prisonners, other about policemen ! Very few one looks like normal Egyptians in their daily life !
