Egypt Death Toll in Army, Protester Clashes Rises to 10

Egyptian army soldiers and protesters demanding that the ruling generals hand over power clashed in central Cairo for a third day after the death toll from the violence rose to 10.

Troops lined up behind barbed wire and demonstrators hurled rocks at each other on a street near Tahrir Square, the focus of a revolt that toppled President Hosni Mubarak. About 500 were injured in the fighting, which began Dec. 16, Health Minister Fouad el-Nawawy said today. Videos posted online and broadcast on private television stations showed troops dragging and beating demonstrators. Many of those killed in the violence were shot, the Associated Press said.
