"CAIRO: At least 9 Egyptian protesters were injured early Tuesday morning by unknown gunmen, local Egyptian media reported, citing protesters in the square.
According to the reports, police also surrounded the square for the first time since the sit-in calling for the end of President Mohamed Morsi’s regime on November 23 began.
The unknown attackers, some of whom were masked, also lobbed Molotov cocktails that started small fires, witnesses said.
When the attack occurred, the protesters were awakened and immediately began chanting, “the people want the downfall of the regime,” a slogan that has come to mark the past two weeks of demonstrations."
