Bloody Battles Break Out in Cairo, Military Beginning to Move on Protesters

As the protests in Cairo grow, the violence and chaos seem to grow as well.  Today, thousands of pro-Mubarak protesters descended on large groups of anti-government protesters.  What followed was an amount of bloodshed not yet seen in Egypt.

Dozens have died, over a thousand have been injured and both totals are rising as time goes on.  The curfew that has been in effect for the last week in Cairo is being largely ignored once again, but tonight the military is advancing on some of the protesters.

In the last hour and a half, military tanks have gone through groups of protesters, trying to force them out of Tahrir Square.  Gun fire is heard every few seconds and Molotov cocktails are frequently being hurled into groups of people.

People are literally running though the streets after being set on fire.
